This is how the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, writes in the letter accompanying the enactment of the Simplification Law. Letter addressed to the presidents of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, and of the Council, Giuseppe Conte.
The main criticism that the Head of State launches to Parliament is that he has inserted the modification of fifteen articles of the Code of the regulation, “which are not attributable to the purposes indicated and do not correspond to matters originally regulated by the measure.”
In short, an eccentric question regarding the content of the simplification decree.
Mattarella points out the incongruity, recalling that Law 400 of 1988 includes “homogeneity of content” among the requirements of the decree-laws. The Council, recalls the Head of State, has “repeatedly requested compliance with this requirement.” And the conversion law “cannot be open to any content, as required by article 96-bis of the regulations of the Chamber of Deputies.”
In addition, the matter was approved in the Senate Committee, “through a single amendment.” Thus, “significant measures were taken on a discipline, road traffic, which, among other things, has immediate repercussions on people’s daily lives. Therefore, the amendment was transformed into the broader amendment that completely replaces the sole article of the provision, a text on which both the Government, both the Senate and the Chamber, raised the issue of trust.
It is a severe criticism of the government and the presidents of the chambers. Mattarella writes: “I urge the government to ensure that during the parliamentary review of decree-laws clearly heterogeneous norms are not included regarding the object and purpose of the emergency measures. I also represent to Parliament the need to operate in such a way that the modification activity is carried out in full coherence with the content limits derived from the constitutional provision “.
