"Interviewer: The reform envisages moving beyond the perfect bicameral system that has been discussed for 30 years: right or wrong, and if so, for or against? Matteoli: The new Senate may, if it wishes, debate all proposals submitted for consideration by the Chamber of Deputies, with the potential to create, if not a complete blockage of legislative activity, delays worse than those of the current perfect bicameral system. I would also point out that the Senate will have to continue, as it does now, to approve laws in various sectors and constitutional laws. So talking about moving beyond perfect bicameralism is pure propaganda. [...] the risk that such demands in this forum will clash with the interests of other regions is equally clear. Reaching a consensus would become impossible."
