Italy's Parliament has given definitive approval to the new electoral law, nicknamed 'Melonellum', which aims to provide a majority bonus and includes preference votes. The law has sparked significant criticism from opposition parties, who argue it is flawed, potentially unconstitutional, and could lead to political instability. There are now appeals for President Sergio Mattarella to consider rejecting the legislation.
