Minestrone soups are obviously not popular on the upper floors of the Quirinale. Nor are the government’s troubles that are cooked together, due to haste or inability, “incongruous” rules. Yesterday the patience of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella must have reached the limit. So much so that from the top of Italian politics the government has received a strong blow to the ears. “I continued with the promulgation, especially considering the relevance of the provision in the difficult economic and social situation.” The choppy clarification that clarifies the official letter sent by Mattarella to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate (Roberto Fico and Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati), as well as the president of the Council of Ministers, Giuseppe Conte leaves no room for misunderstanding.
STOP THE FURBITIES
Mattarella seems tired of the emergency cunning. And it seems clear that the decree law of Simplifications has this time passed under consideration of the Quirinale precisely because of the broken receiver. It is not the first time that the President of the Republic has been impatient with urgent measures – in this case the Simplifications decree – that unduly become containers of heterogeneous norms often thrown at the last minute when intercepting the first “useful regulatory vehicle” to avoid having to go through the normal approval process. Obviously more. Mattarella is patient. So patient. But this time it seems more than fed up. So much so that in the letter to the highest officials, he cites, as expected, a ruling from the Constitutional Court that recalls the principles of Law No. 400 of 1988 which includes among the requirements of the law the decrees “homogeneity of content”. This time – and certainly not the first – the mess is due to the unjustified inclusion in the decree of 15 articles of the Highway Code, which, it is emphasized in the letter, “are not attributable to the aforementioned purposes and do not correspond to the originally regulated subject. of the provision “.
Mattarella has thus decided to involve both Parliament and the government to avoid other soups in the future. Even more so with the approach of the works for the 2021 financial maneuver and the elaboration of the plan to use the 209 billion aired by Brussels for the relaunch. This public retreat is presumably the latest bell to pay more attention. In fact, the president has invited the government “to ensure that during the parliamentary examination of the decree-laws, clearly heterogeneous norms are not inserted regarding the object and purpose of the emergency measures.”
CALL THE ROOMS
Instead, it asks the presidents of the chambers to represent “before Parliament the need to operate in such a way that the amendment activity is carried out in full coherence with the content limits derived from the constitution.” In short, even on camera, you shouldn’t go overboard with amending obstructionism. The president explains that “the decree-law intends to correspond to the double need to facilitate investments and the construction of infrastructures through a series of procedural simplifications. But it cannot be overstated considering the rush to introduce emergency measures to cushion “the economic consequences derived from the epidemiological emergency of Covid-19.”
