Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and top ministers on Monday backed a constitutional reform proposal introducing the direct election of the prime minister, in an effort to end the country's chronic political instability.
Meloni made constitutional reform a key policy plank of her right-wing coalition after winning power in September last year.
Government officials said that under the proposed reform coalitions will have to put forward premier candidates at the election, in a bid to enhance stability by forging a stronger bond between the government and voters. "We have taken a big step towards the 'reform of reforms', which will give stability to the country and restore centrality to the popular vote," Reforms Minister Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati said in a statement.The main left-leaning opposition forces, the 5-Star Movement and the Democratic Party , said they would fight the reform plans because they endanger the checks and balances of the 1948 constitution drawn up after Benito Mussolini's dictatorship.
