In a historic decision, the Council of Ministers voted unanimously to approve the constitutional bill providing for the direct election of the Prime Minister in Italy. This constitutional reform marks a significant turning point in Italian politics, putting an end to the limitation of the appointment of the prime minister through Parliament.

In the past, the absence of this rule has allowed technical governments such as that of Monti to overturn the electoral result by replacing it with a figure that had nothing to do with the preference expressed by the citizens.

This decision was welcomed with enthusiasm by Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy, who underlined that this reform will give citizens the power to choose their own head of government, thus putting an end to palace games and technical governments.

One of the main implications of this reform is that the Prime Minister can no longer be replaced by a figure external to Parliament, eliminating the possibility of technical governments. This means that the government will always be made up of parliamentarians and there will no longer be “rainbow” coalitions made up of heterogeneous political forces. This reform was defined by Meloni as “the mother of all reforms”, as it aims to solve the problem of the stability of Italian governments.

In addition to the constitutional reform, the Mattei Plan, a draft legislative decree and a legislative decree implementing the tax delegation on assessment and biennial preventive composition were approved.

In summary, the approval of the direct election of the Prime Minister represents an important step forward in Italian politics, giving citizens greater decision-making powers and putting an end to an era of technical governments and political instability. This reform has been defined as the “mother of all reforms” by Giorgia Meloni, underlining its importance for the stability of the Italian government.
