Italy’s electoral rules may change before polls: Why Meloni’s proposal has triggered row

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is pushing a controversial electoral reform, introducing a “majority prize” for winning coalitions. Opposition parties decry it as an “authoritarian” power grab, designed to secure her party’s dominance. The proposed law, reminiscent of a past system struck down by the Constitutional Court, aims for political stability but faces strong resistance and accusations of undermining democratic principles.
