ROME (Reuters) – A new Italian opposition
splinter group said at its debut on Wednesday that it would back Prime
Minister Matteo Renzi’s plan to make Italy more politically stable by
changing the constitution to streamline the lawmaking process.
Denis Verdini said he was leaving former prime minister
Silvio Berlusconi’s centre-right Forza Italia party to form a group of
10 senators that could give Renzi support on the legislation that is due
to be voted in parliament in the autumn.
The law, a major plank of Renzi’s reform platform, would
strip regional governments of some powers they now hold and make the
Senate an unelected body whose support would no longer be needed to seat
a government.
