Summary
ANSA - ROME, JUL 14 - Premier Giorgia Meloni's ruling coalition lost an important vote in the Lower House regarding a bill for a new election law on Tuesday. An amendment to the bill presented by Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy FdI with two small centrist parties, NM and UDC, and supported by the other parties in the ruling coalition to give voters the option to express preferences for up to three candidates on an electoral list was rejected in a secret ballot with 187 votes in favour and 188 against. Conte called for a government crisis to be triggered and a snap election be held.
Furthermore, "It is necessary to take responsibility for one's decisions," said ex-premier and 5-Star Movement M5S leader Giuseppe Conte. "After four years, the government wants to change the rules of the game, with this treacherous attempt by FdI and Meloni to make a mockery of Italians with a fake amendment on preferences. "Meloni laid down the challenge to stand by your decisions; you did just that and voted no confidence in your own prime minister".
In addition, Opposition lawmakers chanted "elections" and "resignations" after the result was shown.
