Cabinet Secretary Claudio De
Vincenti told an ANSA Forum on Thursday that Italy's political
machinery will be simpler and work faster if the Yes vote wins
Sunday's Constitutional referendum.
"If Yes wins, we'll have a country with simpler, more
transparent institutions with more responsibility to the
citizens - clear responsibilities with a clear distinction
between the tasks of the State and the regions," he said.
"Furthermore, there will be certainty about the time frames
of laws in the Lower House.
"I think it's the only way to make the institutions more
coherent with the first part of the Constitution, with lighter
institutions that simplify citizens' lives".
Among other things, the Constitutional reform transforms the
Senate into a leaner body of regional representatives with
limited powers to save money and make passing legislation
easier.
