From the Quirinale a clear warning would have gone out to Parliament on the proposal to reformulate party financing, in particular on the distribution among political forces of the two per thousand. According to Sole 24 Ore, such a change would not be approved by the Colle for a number of reasons.
The first, because of the mismatch of subject matter with the Fiscal Decree. The second, perhaps more important, because such a complex subject deserves an autonomous reform and cannot be stuffed into an amendment, moreover of a decree law that has the fast track of necessity and urgency.
Moreover, it is a change with a strong impact on public finances and one that goes to affect citizens' free choices as to how public money is spent. Which, as we said, become huge. This is why the Quirinale has issued a warning to parliamentarians to back off, since the rule would find the high hand of the Colle.
