Franzo Grande Stevens critic over the way of proposing such a review. «Common rules of everybody life are decided together». Renzi? «An aspiring dictator»
by Emanuele Bonini
Certain statements by certain people make things not generic. In the case of Italy, please take note Mr. Franzo Grande Stevens decided to express his personal opinion on the constitutional reform proposed by the current government. Before going on, it is better to recall who Franzo Grande Stevens is and, as consequence, who he was. He is an Italian lawyer, famous for being the lawyer of the Agnelli family. He has been a personal consultant of Gianni Agnelli, the president of FIAT. He is not a person like all the others, for sure. It appears clear Franzo Grande Stevens contributed to write an important part of the country, and his opinion can't remain unheard. «I will vote for "no", I fight against this aspiring dictator», he said in an interview to Fatto Quotidiano, referring to the Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi and his idea of reforming the constitution. The proposal itself poses all the risks such a proposal can pose, but according to mr. Grande Stevens «the worst thing is a prime minister who threatens the electorate». Matteo Renzi is giving the referendum a test nature for the government he leads. He basically said "in case voters won't opt for 'yes', there will be a government crisis. «Who says something like that does not really have the sense of democracy», argued Gianni Agnelli's former lawyer. To him «the Constitution, the basic rules of coexistence that hold together the national community, are done decided all together». When the endorsement of democratic rules comes from an environment considered as "aristocratic", maybe there is something not working. In the supposed government of citizens, maybe?
