Majority to file referendum request Wed

(ANSA) - Rome, April 19 - The parliamentary majority will on Wednesday filed at the supreme Cassation Court a request for a referendum on the government's Constitutional reform, sources said Tuesday. Signatures will be gathered among MPs Tuesday morning and the request will be filed in the afternoon. The oppositions have already gathered the requisite one fifth of the House needed for the referendum request on the reform, which streamlines Italy's costly and slow-moving political machinery.
    The referendum will take place in October.
