There is a certain festive atmosphere, almost euphoria at In Onda, on La7. Luca Telese and Marianna Aprile find themselves holding a serious bombshell: what the left has already optimistically dubbed a “government crisis.”
A few minutes earlier, in the Chamber, the government was defeated on the electoral law, with the amendment on preferences signed by Brothers of Italy rejected in the chamber by one vote. Decisive were the 31 mavericks from the center-right. Rude scenes at Montecitorio. Elly Schlein hugs everyone, her loyal Chiara Braga closes her eyes and raises her fists to the sky, Provenzano staggers. Near them, the deputies of the Five Star Movement start chanting “resign resign!” directed at Giorgia Meloni (absent).
The scene is repeated live with Giuseppe Conte, who in a connection with La7 reiterates with a bit more sobriety the political hope: “The government after 4 years has not approved a single reform, the situation is of great difficulty for families, citizens, people who give up treatment. And what does this government do? It focuses on forcing the hand, blocking Parliament and approving an electoral law? Let’s take a look,” explains the former premier from Piazza Montecitorio, where he participates in the opposition sit-in. “Meloni always manages to fool Italians and shows that she wants preferences. Fake ones. Meloni must go home. We are talking about parliamentary democracy and there has already been a plebiscite of citizens on justice but they pretended nothing happened.” Apples and oranges are mixed, but everyone is silent. After all, the other guests are Anna Falcone and Riccardo Magi.
Telese smirks: “In the chamber there was Laura Ravetto pointing at her former comrades from the League and Forza Italia. Then Rampelli’s face turns, astonished.” The leader of +Europe adds: “The government no longer has the majority, it was a vote of political no confidence.”

Then another barrage: “This law is born with closed lists, a majority bonus that does not exist in any democracy in the world, which turns a minority into a majority. And all lists can only be presented if linked to a name, the one that each party will indicate as the candidate premier. A premiership inserted into the electoral reform.” The hosts nod, convinced.
The only counterpoint is entrusted to Pietro Senaldi, co-editor of Libero, who points out how the vote was “the sum of some discontent” within the majority ranks, not least the opposition of female parliamentarians. “A gender no confidence,” he jokes. Falcone is outraged: “This is the height.” Because after all in certain shows confrontation seems allowed only when everyone agrees.
