The political balance of power in Italy is in heavy flux these days. On Friday, the cabinet in Rome is expected to launch the draft for a constitutional reform – a preliminary agreement was reported last night. Through the new electoral law, the right-wing conservative government of Giorgia Meloni promises the country more stability. But the strongest left-wing opposition forces, the Five Star Movement and the Partito Democratico (PD), see the control mechanisms of the 1948 constitution in danger.
