"We will not nominate people convicted with a final ruling from the Supreme Court, such as Appendino." Renzi's loyalists, in the meantime, want to officially note how he has already given all the necessary reassurances: see the choice not to run in the majority prize list shared with the entire coalition and not to take part in the official photos and coalition table when the time comes to draft the program: in his place, there will be Maria Elena Boschi. #Politica #Elezioni2026 #Allanza (translated)

Bärbel Bas resigns from her position as Minister of Labor and from the co-presidency of the SPD, further throwing uncertainty on the already fragile coalition between the SPD, CDU, and CSU, marked by tensions over reforms and political disputes. #Germania #Politica #Lavoro (translated)

You can also think about greatly expanding the coalition in order to try to win, but you risk creating a political project that wins but then melts away like snow in the sun. "You can also think about greatly expanding the coalition in order to try to win, but you risk creating a political project that wins but then melts away like snow in the sun. It has already happened in the center-left,” warns Conte, who saw his second government fall precisely at the hands of the former Rottamatore. #Politica #Centrosinistra #EllySchlein (translated)

It is urgent to sit around a table and have a serious discussion; in a couple of weeks, it will be closed. From the same stage, Conte makes an appeal to define the program of the future coalition, particularly divided on the issue of arms to Ukraine. #Politica #Primarie #Progressisti (translated)

For the M5s, they should be done as soon as possible, "a moment after" putting a unified program in black and white (Giuseppe Conte has proposed to convene the coalition table around the 20th of this month) and before the ruling of the Consulta, which could come too late. #LeggeElettorale #Consulta #Centrosinistra (translated)

The new electoral law, called Stabilicum, introduces a substantial majority prize and preferences for voters, but it also includes blocked list leaders and a system that could generate political instability if no coalition reaches 42% of the votes. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni2027 #StabilitàPolitica (translated)

The next time Italians go to vote, they will be able to choose everything. They will be able to choose the party, the coalition, the program, the prime minister candidate, and the parliament member after more than thirty years that this has not been allowed for parliamentary elections. For Giorgia Meloni: “The next time Italians go to vote, they will be able to choose everything.

Ultimora.net - POLITICS reported that the Chamber had definitively approved the new electoral law with 227 votes in favor and 164 against, in a secret ballot, and that the text, already approved by the Senate, had become law. According to reports, the system provided for a proportional structure with a governability bonus: 70 seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate for the list or coalition that exceeded 42% in both Chambers, with a limit of 220 and 113 seats respectively. If the threshold was not reached or the results were different between the two Chambers, pure proportionality would apply. The author added that preferences would return after the blocked first candidate, that it would be mandatory to indicate the prime minister candidate, and that the thresholds would be 3% for lists and 10% for coalitions. It was also reported that voting from abroad would become stable for those who had been domiciled elsewhere for at least nine months for study, work, or health. #LeggeElettorale #Politica #Italia (translated)

The author wrote that, with the final approval of the new electoral law, Italians would be able to choose in the next elections the party, the coalition, the program, the prime minister candidate, and their own parliament member. He added that the center-right would reintroduce the preferential vote. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni #PoliticaItalia #IT (translated)

"This electoral law essentially mirrors the one in force for municipalities and regions. I am puzzled by the reactions of the center-left; if they believe what they say, they must propose the abolition of the direct election of mayors. In local elections, citizens vote for the party, the coalition, the councilor, the mayor, and, with the majority prize and the threshold, they obtain stable governments. Exactly what our electoral law provides for. Perhaps the left prefers palace conspiracies and technocratic governments. It is true that preferences exist only in part, but those who accuse us do not seem to have ever considered the issue of preferences. As an old saying goes, 'the best is the enemy of the good.' It is better to have 40% of preferences than 0, and we have taken advantage of the situation to start a reform path that will lead citizens to choose 100% of parliamentarians with preferences in the future. Today, we could have achieved at most this result." This was declared by the Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, Fabio Rampelli of Brothers of Italy, during a live intervention on the Coffee Break program on La7. #LeggeElettorale #PoliticaItaliana #Democrazia (translated)

During an interview, Israeli politician Yoav Segalovitz emphasizes the importance of restoring unity between Jews and Arabs in Israel, stating that the country's response to the events of October 7 would have been the same even with Raam in coalition. #unità #Israele #EbreiArabi (translated)

Ultimora.net highlighted the main contents of the Stabilicum and reported that the following day the Chamber would vote definitively on the law, by secret ballot. In the case of rejection, Giorgia Meloni intended to call early elections, according to the site. The proposal envisaged a proportional system with a majority premium of 70 seats in the Chamber and 35 in the Senate, up to a maximum of 220 deputies and 113 senators. The premium would kick in with at least 42% of the votes in both Chambers; below that threshold, seats would be allocated proportionally. Uninominal constituencies would be eliminated, except for those in South Tyrol and Aosta Valley. Each list would have a blocked leader and six other candidates, with the possibility of expressing up to three preferences while respecting gender alternation. Ultimora.net indicated barriers of 3% for lists and 10% for coalitions, with the retrieval of the list with the most votes among those below 3%. Parties and coalitions would also have to indicate a candidate for prime minister, whose name would not appear on the ballot. The proposal would reduce the geographical divisions for voting by Italians abroad in the Chamber from four to two — Europe and the rest of the world — and to one in the Senate. For those living away from home, the site wrote, voting at the place of temporary residence would be possible after at least nine months, or three for those undergoing treatment, provided they registered with a list within 30 days of meeting the requirements and at least 45 days before the elections. This option would be extended to caregivers of family members hospitalized outside their region of residence. Finally, for parties without parliamentary representation, the minimum number of signatures required would rise from 1,500 to 6,000 per constituency; for Italians abroad, between 500 and 1,000 would be needed. Electronic collection of signatures would not be permitted, according to Ultimora.net. #LeggeElettorale #Elezioni #Italia (translated)
