Majority consensus on absenteeism, but there are still differences on preferences

The Italian center-right majority has reached an agreement on allowing voters who are temporarily away from their registered residence to vote at their current location, marking a surprise victory despite initial predictions. This change, which allows millions of voters to cast ballots where they currently reside due to study, work, or health reasons, was achieved while maintaining differences over voter preferences. The reform's approval is celebrated by figures like FdI's Angelo Rossi and Gioventù Nazionale leaders, though opposition parties remain critical, with some expressing support conditional on further negotiations. Meanwhile, disagreements persist regarding voter preference rules, with some center-right factions resisting changes. The legislative process continues with potential for further debate before the deadline.

The opposition's awakening to the cry "elections, elections".

The Italian parliament rejected an amendment proposed by the ruling coalition that would have introduced preference votes into the new electoral law. The amendment failed by just one vote, with 187 in favor and 188 against. This outcome has led to calls for early elections from opposition leaders including Elly Schlein of the Democratic Party (Pd), Giuseppe Conte of the Five Star Movement (M5s), and Nicola Fratoianni of Avs. These leaders accuse Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of arrogance and call for her to resign and step down immediately.
