(ANSA) - Rome, May 4 - Reform Minister Maria Elena Boschi on
Wednesday said an October referendum on a Constitutional reform
to Italy's costly and unwieldy political machinery was about
"the future of the country".
Boschi, who has given her name to the reform that replaces
the Senate with a smaller, regionally elected body, said that
the revamp would set up "a State that works better and responds
within a sure timeframe", given that lawmaking will be cheaper
and faster.
Premier Matteo Renzi has staked his political future on a
yes vote in the referendum which he says is the flagship reform
of his government.
Referendum 'on country's future' says Boschi
To have State that works better, responds in sure timeframe
