Yesterday the parliament began to approve the worst, most illegal, misleading transformations to the Italian constitution since Mussolini's times. Right before the whole thing started, Daniele Luttazzi described the operation on his blog. Notes and links are mine, as the translation. From Daniele Luttazzi News:

Today at the parliament the majority will try to change 55 articles of the Constitution in 6 hours. Devolution, unlimited premiership, Federal Senate, downsize of the President prerogatives, new technicalities in the approving of laws. An orgy that risks to outshine Tigellinus' ones.
Let's taste the abysses:

The parliament will be no more. The government will make laws since it will appoint which measures are considered indispensable asking 'for the trust'. If the trust is not given, the government dissolves the Chambers¹

The Chambers will be able to 'give the mistrust', but only if it a new premier has been recognized in the current majority. Thus, any opposition is useless. This kind of 'mistrust' limited to the majority does not exist in Europe.

The premier will be elected by the people².

The President of the Republic will be turned into a notary, who certifies the papers that the premier gives to him. He won't check on the lawfulness of the actions. And he won't be able anymore to send back to the chambers unconstitutional laws, like the Castelli-Gelli amendment, that the President Ciampi sent back to the Chambers 7 TIMES because UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

The Federal Senate is in the unknown³. It examines only regional laws. If there's a conflict with the House of the Deputies, a special Commission will decide, in fact a sort of third Chamber. If the third Chamber does not work either, all is sent to Vespa⁴

Devolution. Northern League members wrote it, therefore it is unintelligible. They were four in a cottage on the mountains, with the genepy, who knows what happened⁵. The organization of Public Health will be competence of the Regions, but the Tutelage of Health will be competence of the Federal State. The same for the Educational system. How? Nobody knows. How all the provinces will end up? It's everybody's guess. Maybe they will end up in the same place with the 'Great Ventures'..

To top it all: the Regions will be able to melt together. And they will be able to change boundaries. If the town of Piacenza wants to go with Lombardia, the Region of Emilia won't be able to oppose. Piacenza will go with Lombardia, bringing Hospitals, business, revenues from taxation, banking sources, professional sources.
- Where do you live? - In Reggio Calabria. - Oh, in Liguria!

_{1. According to the italian constitutional system, the parliament makes the laws, while the magistrature and the government should be limited to propose and enforce them. 'Ask for the trust' it's a emergency action the government can take to force the parliament to approve a certain measure. If the majority does not 'gives the trust' (by voting on behalf of the law), the chambers are dissolved and a new government is needed. Up till now, only the President (who guarantees the respect of the constitution) was allowed to dissolve the parliament, not the government itself.}

2. This may sound good, if you like to be beguiled by a single shitty face instead of many. But it is the obvious first step toward tyranny.

3. The italian parliament is divided in two chambers: a House of the Deputies and a Senate. Up till now, the double-chambered system was meant to double-check on the approving on the laws. The Senate is smaller and composed only by experienced parliamentarians who would monitor the House of the Deputies activity. The new so-called Federal Senate, which is being approved with this 'reform', is unheard in Italy before, since Italy is NOT a Federal Republic.

4. Bruno Vespa. Host of the major political program of the public TV. He's a boring, hypocrite, ignorant, abusive, sacerdotal brown-noser of the political oligarchy. Blessed in the past by a phone call from Mr. Woytila in person.

5. Real news: Last year four leading members of the Northern League wrote the draft of the so called Devolution of Powers for the Italian Regions, while wintering in a cottage in the Val D'Aosta mountains. The Genepy is the famous occitan booze locally produced.
