ANPI says will debate Renzi on referendum

(ANSA) - Rome, August 26 - The national partisans' association ANPI on Friday said it would accept Premier Matteo Renzi's invitation to debate a referendum on the government's overhaul of Italy's political machinery. It said the date, venue and choice of moderator would have to be agreed. The debate is expected to take place at one of Renzi's Democratic Party's (PD) Festa dell'Unità events. ANPI is against the government's constitutional reform that aims to cut gridlock by turning the Senate into a smaller, regionally based body with limited powers.
