Meloni's government wins second vote on electoral reform

The Italian government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni won a second confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday on the contested electoral reform. The vote took place during debate on the first articles of the bill, which aims to change the rules for parliamentary elections. ORF ↗

The government linked the approval of articles 1, 2 and 3 of the reform to a confidence vote. According to available data, a large majority of deputies supported the second vote. The lower house of the Italian parliament is due to decide on the bill on Tuesday and Wednesday. aktuality.sk ↗

The reform introduces a proportional electoral system supplemented by a majority bonus. Its critics argue that the bill is designed to make it easier for Prime Minister Meloni to retain power. The government, on the other hand, is pushing the procedure forward by linking the voting on individual articles to a confidence vote. svet.sme.sk ↗

The outcome of the votes is a test of the stability of the government majority. If the cabinet failed to win sufficient support in any of the votes, according to available information, it could lead to early parliamentary elections. The final form of the reform will continue to be decided in the Chamber of Deputies. teraz.sk ↗
