  • Maurizio Martina “Ripescato” Al
    MAURIZIO MARTINA “RIPESCATO” AL MIPAAF. ECCO IL GOVERNO M a t t e o R e n z i h a s c i o lto la riserva. Il giuramento del nuovo governo ci sarà domani alle 11.30. Dopo una “lunga chiacchierata” con il presidente della Repubblica sono state cambiate alcune carte in tavola: il vulnus era la giustizia. Orlando – notoriamente garantista – è stato spostato dall’Ambiente alla Giustizia e Galletti “dirottato” dall’Agricoltura all’Ambiente. Con “ripescaggio” di Maurizio Martina. Tanto più che i numeri al Senato per la fiducia sembravano già essere messi in discussione da Forza Italia. Una squadra di governo snella composta da 16 ministri di cui metà donne. È durato oltre due ore il vertice del premier incaricato Matteo Renzi con il capo dello Stato Giorgio Napolitano al Quirinale. Come previsto il fedelissimo Graziano Delrio sarà il sottosegretario alla Presidenza del Consiglio. All’Economia come lui stesso aveva annunciato via twitter il tecnico presidente dell’Istat Pier Carlo Padoan. Riconferma di Angelino Alfano agli Interni. A sorpresa Andrea Orlando alla Giustizia (era ministro uscente all’Ambiente). Maurizio Lupi alle Infrastrutture, Dario Franceschini alla Cultura, Giuliano Poletti di Legacoop al Lavoro e politiche sociali; al Mipaaf Maurizio Martina. Queste le donne ministro: Roberta Pinotti (Difesa), Stefania Giannini (Istruzione), Federica Guidi (Sviluppo Economico), Maria Elena Boschi (Riforme e Rapporti con il Parlamento), Federica Mogherini (Esteri), Beatrice Lorenzin (Sanità), Marianna Madia (Semplificazione) e Maria Carmela Lanzetta agli Affari Regionali e all’Ambiente Gianluca Galletti. “Dovendo far eun govenro che dura quattro anni è naturle che ci sia voluto un po di tempo, spiega il Premier incaricato.

  • Italy Cannot Afford to Allow Political Instability to Affect Its Troubled Banking System
    Italy cannot afford to allow political instability to affect its troubled banking system blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/12/06/italy-cannot-afford-to-allow-political-instability-to-affect-its-troubled-banking-system/ 06/12/2016 One of the key concerns raised since Matteo Renzi’s resignation as Italian Prime Minister is that a period of financial instability could damage Italy’s already fragile banking system. Mara Monti writes that although the short-term market reaction to Renzi’s resignation was fairly mild, there may be a more severe reaction if the political situation cannot be resolved before the end of the year. After the strong vote against the proposed constitutional reform in Italy’s referendum, Prime Minster Matteo Renzi has announced his resignation. Younger voters and southern regions mostly contributed to the vote against the proposal, which was almost 60-40 in favour of No, with a high turnout of 65.5 per cent. Both the percentage of voters rejecting the reform bill and the turnout were higher than projected by opinion polls, with close to 33 million people casting their preference (19.4 million voted ‘No’ and 13.4 million ‘Yes’). By comparison, the turnout in the UK’s EU referendum was 72.2% (corresponding to 33.6 million people). Voters abroad nevertheless backed the reform, with almost 60 per cent voting Yes. As for what happens next, the fear is political instability will emerge, with the financial budget law still under discussion and the Europe asking who will replace Renzi as PM. The name circulating at present is the Finance Minister, Pier Carlo Padoan, who may be charged with setting up a new government with the goal of approving a new electoral before a general election in May 2018.

It’s the responsibility of the other member states to assist us as a fellow member of the European Union. The problems 2 present in Italy aren’t representative of the European Union as a whole organization. These issues will need to be fixed. The only way this can happen is if we come together and solve them. These problems consist of money issues, a lack of security, extensive immigrants, government, and integration of people. The people of Italy are suffering because of their bad economic state. The government running Italy is in debt. And since there is a lot of people, growth in population is bad. This means less money for each person. And citizens are losing opportunities because of the people entering the country.

Renzi Removed: the 2016 Italian Constitutional Referendum and its Outcome Martin J. Bull On 4 December 2016, Italians voted in a referendum on what was the most significant constitutional reform proposal since the one adopted by the Berlusconi government and rejected in a constitutional referendum in 2006 (Bull 2007). The reform was proposed by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi with the aim of overcoming the long-term deficiencies of Italian institutional arrangements and the failure of successive governments, over a period of forty years, to carry through institutional reform (Crainz and Fusaro 2016; Bull, 2015). This was only the third constitutional referendum in the history of the Italian Republic (following those held in 2001 and 2006). Like Berlusconi’s proposals, those of Renzi were extensive (promising to rewrite nearly a third of the Constitution) and controversial, both in substance and in the way in which they had been passed through parliament.

  • Will Italy's Constitutional Referendum Mark the Beginning of a 'Third
    Will Italy’s constitutional referendum mark the beginning of a ‘Third Republic’? blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/10/04/italys-constitutional-referendum-mark-the-beginning-of-third-republic/ 04/10/2016 On 4 December, Italy will hold a referendum on constitutional reform that has come to be viewed as a vote of confidence in Matteo Renzi’s government. Fabio Bordignon writes that Italy now has two very different paths in front of it: a Yes vote will potentially lead to a more presidential form of politics, while a No vote could generate substantial uncertainty over the country’s political trajectory. He argues that the victory of Renzi’s camp would lead to a majoritarian – and de facto presidential – democracy, inaugurating Italy’s ‘Third Republic’. Interested in other points of view? Check out EUROPP’s full coverage of Italy’s constitutional referendum. Once again, Europe and the wider world are watching Italy. A package of economic and institutional reforms promoted by Matteo Renzi’s centre-left government has gained the approval, in recent months, of the US Government and Italy’s major EU partners. Along the way, however, many unknowns still weigh heavily. The Constitutional Referendum, scheduled for 4 December 2016, will be a crucial moment not only for the political course of the current government and its leader, but also for the political system as a whole, which, twenty years after the crisis of the early 1990s, is experiencing a new turning point. A victory for either side could change the institutional configuration and the mechanics of Italy’s political system, but in very different directions.
