Giorgia Meloni anticipates the timing: “When we go back to vote,” here is the date | Libero Quotidiano.it

Early voting on July 11, as Libero suggested a few days ago. Or perhaps even a week earlier, on April 4, according to the background by Francesco Verderami in the Corriere della Sera.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her loyalists would have already taken a look at next year’s calendar, so as not to be caught unprepared in case the situation in the center-right majority really deteriorates. The halt on the electoral law, with the rejection of the amendment on preferences presented by Brothers of Italy and that of National Future on Wednesday, was interpreted by the Prime Minister as a warning not to be underestimated. Not a real break, but a warning: something is wrong within the allies Lega and Forza Italia. Too many, those 31 “snipers”. The vote this morning at Montecitorio, with the center-right once again united in approving the general framework of the law, brought a truce but the feeling is that not everything has passed.

Verderami also collects a suggestive voice: by starting the process in the Chamber and not in the Senate (where there is no secret ballot, as recalled by President Ignazio La Russa) and thus exposing herself to friendly fire, Meloni would have “wanted to reach the breaking point of the majority without going beyond. Because if the preferences had passed, the law would then have been sunk in the final vote. And it would have been a disaster.” A controlled incident, in short. Also to make the more reluctant allies understand that the Prime Minister does not rule out any path, not even the extreme one.

The backgrounds on the eve of the vote confirm how many in the center-right and also within FdI were convinced that amendment would fail. However, it was a tactical choice: “With the challenge on preferences – parliamentary sources explain to Verderami – Giorgia overturned the opposition’s accusation of wanting to deal with Palace issues. And by affirming the will to give citizens back the right to choose their representative in Parliament, she was media effective.” Not only that. The Corriere correspondent also writes: “They say that according to the first polls the move is proving successful in the country. Therefore, yesterday the Prime Minister wanted FdI to vote in favor of the amendment on preferences presented by the ‘enemies’ vannacciani: a calculated political inconsistency to remain consistent in front of the citizens.”
