The failure to revoke the Castelli law

Clemente Mastella's justice law has achieved the vote.
This provides the proof that the polemics of recent days about the failure to get the law approved because of the abstention by the Italia dei Valori senators was instrumental and inconsistent. They simply didn't want to reveal the intrigues between the majority and the opposition.
During the election campaign, the Unione said that the Castelli law had to be revoked as it was unconstitutional. That's a promise and unfortunately it's not the only one that hasn't been kept. It was a promise that could have been kept easily.
With the votes of Italia dei Valori in the Senate, there would have been the majority necessary to revoke the Castelli law. Instead they preferred to go with a nasty agreement with the CDL rather than keep their word with their own voters. Italia dei Valori will not bring down the government out of a sense of responsibility towards the country, but it asks for equal dignity in relation to the other parties in the Government.
Italia dei Valori is the fourth largest party in the coalition. Its voice cannot be ignored nor undervalued. Exactly like that of the country.
