Minister Ciriani warns of serious fallout if electoral reform fails in Chamber vote

Minister Ciriani said the governing majority must pass the electoral law in the Chamber, stressing that any failure could have major consequences.

The minister for parliamentary relations, Ciriani, announced that the electoral reform is now at its last hurdle in the Chamber and expressed confidence that the governing coalition will approve it. He called for maximum vigilance, asking every elected member to be present and decide based on personal conscience, while rejecting claims of a hidden vote. Ciriani described the law as essential for national stability and noted that fear of a failed vote is normal in the final phase of a legislature.

He also addressed criticism from opposition parties, stating that the reform has already introduced preferential voting as promised by the prime minister. Finally, the minister said the government will continue working on budget and energy issues after the vote.

Why it matters

The outcome will determine Italy's electoral framework and affect the governing coalition's stability.
