In the new post on the PEX Blog, Michelangelo Vercesi analyzes the constitutional reform approved by the Italian Senate on June 18, 2024, which seeks to establish the direct election of the prime minister. The proposal aims to strengthen the executive, ensure greater government stability, and better align the government with voters' preferences. The reform would result in a mixed system between parliamentarism and presidentialism, described as a "premierato." However, it requires an unlikely majority of two-thirds, which means a referendum would be necessary, and if approved, the outcomes could differ significantly from the initial goals.

In the new post on the PEX Blog, Michelangelo Vercesi analyzes the constitutional reform approved by the Italian Senate on June 18, 2024, which seeks to establish the direct election of the prime minister. The proposal aims to strengthen the executive, ensure greater government stability, and better align the government with voters' preferences. The reform would result in a mixed system between parliamentarism and presidentialism, described as a "premierato." However, it requires an unlikely majority of two-thirds, which means a referendum would be necessary, and if approved, the outcomes could differ significantly from the initial goals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
