There will be two unpublished chambers, slimmed down by about 30% of parliamentarians, those that will meet at the end of October after the passing of the polls. The constitutional reform launched in 2020 has in fact reduced the number of deputies from 630 to 400 and that of elected senators from 315 to 200, to which five senators for life will be added. An unprecedented situation with questions about parliamentary activity.
While the scissoring will solve the atavistic problems of working spaces for parliamentarians and groups, we are wondering about the functionality of the bodies, especially for the Senate. Next week the Hall of Palazzo Madama will reduce the number of permanent Commissions from 14 to 10 by merging some of them (Foreign and Defense, Environment and Public Works, Industry and Agriculture, Labor and Health). However, the small-medium groups will have one or two senators on each commission, which will prevent their specialization and will require greater use of external technicians and the legislators of the ministries. The other problem concerns the Bicameral Commissions and Bodies, such as Copasir, Rai Vigilanza, Antimafia. These, for example, must avoid meeting in the early afternoon (when there are no two classrooms) in conjunction with the permanent committees of the Chamber and Senate, under penalty of missing the quorum in one or the other. . For the Bicamerals, calls are coming at sunrise or sunset.
For the Chamber there are no such problems while for journalists it will be easier to memorize the names and faces of 600 elected than 915.
