Some critical reflections on the reform of article 135 CE

The reform of art. 135 CE, made urgently in order to ensure fiscal stability and to promote economic and social sustainability of the country has shown the gradual erosion of some of the traditional paradigms of constitutionalism. In particular, the content analysis of the new Article 135 and of the procedure reveals the tension generated between the European project transfer of sovereignty and democratic legitimacy. This parallel to the reflection on the urgent need to undertake serious reform of a constitutional text that, despite sustained mutations requires an urgent adaptation to a social and political context radically different from that shone over 30 years.
