Fresh from the success in the run-offs of the administrative elections, the government majority pulls straight on constitutional reforms. And in particular on the direct election of the premier, which Giorgia Meloni had indicated as an essential point of her reform of the State order (leaving to the League the different distribution of powers between Regions and central powers, the so-called Differentiated Autonomy).

Last in order of time is Antonio Tajani, who is Meloni's deputy and represents one of the two "legs" of the government area, Forza Italia: "I believe we must go forward going hand in hand" with autonomy and constitutional reform, explains the Foreign Minister. And he adds: "We have no prejudices but it seems to me that we are moving towards a proposal for the direct election of the Prime Minister, so that there is a balance, a government that lasts a long time at the center and then an administrative autonomy. We made sure that the text of autonomy was balanced."

Shortly before, the other deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, on behalf of the League, had also explained that "autonomy, the direct election of the premier without changes of majority, the powers delegated to local authorities represent stability and paths that are absolutely together".

In the morning, connected with Tg1 morning, Tommaso Foti, group leader in the Chamber of Brothers of Italy (the party of the Prime Minister), had also been explicit: "The constitutional reform and that of the autonomies will proceed parallel but with different times, because it is clear that the constitutional reform has different approval times from those of an ordinary law. I think, however, that the result we must aim for is to give efficiency to a country that shows too many encrustations in the institutions".

"The premiership - Foti then underlined - is not yet defined as a choice, probably it will be done but the draft constitutional reform by the government has not yet been defined. I think that the premiership can be a good balance that essentially favors two facts: that those who govern, actually govern, because they have a popular investiture; and that there is stability in governments."
