PThe bill is the result of a deal that Renzi, the leader of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), struck with Berlusconi before he became premier last month./PP”Forza Italia is against minimum quotas for women MPs because it would be a law with evident problems of Constitutionality,” said FI’s Francesco Paolo Sisto, who was one of the lawmakers proposing the election-system bill. As a result, the House suspended work on the bill until 14.30, despite the opposition of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), the Northern League and the left-wing SEL party./PIMG id=mediaViewer title=”” alt=”” src=”http://www.mineralfossil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-trasp89.gif”ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
