They are even able to change the constitution without a referendum even with 0 support from the opposition.

I wonder if they will actually make use of that ability or if they'll just let it pass them by. Pro-right Italians should definitely protest demanding this.

They won't do radical shit, let's be honest. They are going to buy us time by promoting natality and blocking immigrants while also giving a favourable political landscape for the cultural action, but that's that.

What a waste. They should certainly enshrine immigration and citizenship law reforms into the constitution, at the very least. There is no point in electoral victories if they are not put to use.

Well Italy has a quite strict citizenship law (which is mostly acquired by blood), and the constitution already recognise the traditional family as a cornerstone of the society - the constitution was made mostly by Catholics anyway. There are still things to fix obviously but those are just too much hardcore for the present government.

That does not sound satisfactory to me. I hope activists and the Italian public do their best to put pressure on this new government to pass meaningful, effective, long term reform.

Why do you have faith in plebiscites?

What are you referring to? The new Italian government should have a strong enough majority to change the constitution without the need for a referendum.
