(Finance) – After three unsuccessful attempts due to the failure to reach the quorum of deputies, the vote on the preliminary ruling of the Brothers of Italy of Ukraine bis will be held tomorrow at 10. The Chamber was called to vote on a preliminary ruling of constitutionality (i.e. a request not to discuss the provision because it was deemed contrary to the Constitution) presented by the Brothers of Italy on the decree containing the standards urgent to counter the economic and humanitarian effects deriving from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, including the reduction of excise duty on fuels and tax credits for companies grappling with rising energy costs.
After the preliminary question, it would have been necessary to proceed with the other votes concerning the decree. It is also expected that the executive, in the probable case that the preliminary ruling is rejected, will place it immediately after the question of trust, with which all amendments would lapse, in order to speed up the time for final approval. Not present in the classroom today were several deputies of the government majority: the group with the greatest absence (68% at the second check) was found to be that of the League.
“From today’s discussion, both in the majority and in the opposition forces, a sense of strong regret has emerged for the fact that the text has arrived ‘armored’ and that the question of trust will be raised. deputies were unable to express themselves and exercise their role in the best possible way, “he said Nunzio Angiola, Deputy of Action and rapporteur for the provision under examination by the Chamber. “Further reasons recrimination also derive from the fact that the deadline of the decree is set for May 20 and that the committee has been given just one hour for the deposit of the amendments and only two for the analysis and voting of the same. A real shame because the discussion between the deputies, which in the Senate led to improvements in the text, would have been an important moment of political confrontation, even in a very delicate moment. We therefore hope that this anomaly does not become the practice and that in the meantime, despite experiencing difficult times, the sense of responsibility on the part of all political forces continues to prevail “, added Angiola.
“There majority Government has proved extremely superficial on a delicate measure such as the Ukraine decree. The government forces, although they can count on the largest majority in the history of the Italian Republic, manage not to allow the achievement of the quorum in the Chamber “, declared Maria Teresa Belluccideputy and group leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Social Affairs Committee of the Chamber.
“To send economic and military aid toUkraine“initially it was” right and we voted for it with conviction. “Now” further shipments of weapons I do not think are the right solution. Dialogue is not prepared by sending other weapons “, declared the leader of the League Matteo Salvini at the end of the meeting with Prime Minister Mario Draghi. The conversation – reads a note – focused on the recent visit to the United States, during which Italy’s commitment to peace was reaffirmed through support for Ukraine, the imposition of sanctions on Russia, the renewed call for a ceasefire and the opening of credible negotiations.
