(ANSA) - UDINE, 29 GIU - Today in Trieste, Senator Tatjana Rojc and Deputy Debora Serracchiani, both from the Democratic Party, presented an amendment to electoral law reform to help candidates from the Slovenian minority gain access to Parliament. Rojc explained that Italy's constitutional framework "does not allow the introduction of a 'reserved seat' for a representative of the Slovenian minority. So, with the help of experts, we have drafted a provision that can serve as an incentive for political forces to ensure that representatives of the Slovenian minority are nominated in electable positions." The system is modeled on the promotional mechanism for the Ladin community in Trentino-Alto Adige. It would enable the protection of the Slovenian minority without changing the number of seats allocated to the FVG constituency. For Serracchiani, the amendment is "a moment of truth," or rather "a stress test for the center-right, which has talked a great deal about openness toward the Slovenian community, saying they would consider the electoral law." She added that "behind this electoral law there is no intention to ensure stability, but rather to obtain full powers," making the political choice and its consequences explicit. Rojc said she hoped "the new Slovenian government will encourage the Meloni government," stressing that a confidence vote would undermine the possibility of intervening and improving an issue that concerns the region's representation. In a video message, Gianni Cuperlo of the Democratic Party, a co-sponsor of the initiative, recalled that the representation of the Slovenian minority in Parliament has so far been "left to the goodwill of the parties." He noted that the majority had requested that it be set aside, but added: "We will continue this battle in the Chamber to the very end." (ANSA).
