The President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa expressed the view that Giorgia Meloni as President of the Republic would be a positive development for the country. According to La Russa, this possibility could materialize not in the current term but in the next one, that is after President Sergio Mattarella's mandate concludes. La Russa, whose statements were reported by newspapers of different political orientations, described Meloni at the Quirinale as a prospect that, in his judgment, would benefit Italy. On the electoral law front, La Russa issued a warning regarding the ongoing reform process. He stated that rejecting a reform is not equivalent to rejecting an amendment, adding that the consequences of such a choice must be understood. According to one of the sources, the President of the Senate also cited a risk of unconstitutionality linked to the current electoral law framework. The remarks come amid ongoing debate over the electoral system and the broader political timeline leading to the next presidential election.
