Blow for Meloni, loses referendum on justice in Italy

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces a political blow after the latest results of the referendum on judicial reform, where voters appear to have rejected the proposed changes.

According to the latest projections by public broadcaster Rai, the side against the changes to the judiciary ("No") leads with around 53.6% of the vote, while supporters ("Yes") lag behind with 46.4%, confirming a narrow defeat for the government.

The result has sparked strong reactions in Italian politics. Former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who himself resigned after losing the 2016 constitutional referendum, declared that “when the people speak, the government must listen,” warning that the message from voters should not be ignored. However, he clarified that he was not calling for Meloni’s immediate resignation.

On the other hand, the leader of the Five Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, hailed the result as a victory for the constitution and democracy, publicly declaring: "We did it, long live the constitution!"

Italian media reports suggest that protests demanding Meloni's resignation are expected to take place in several major cities such as Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin and Bologna, although the prime minister herself has categorically ruled out the possibility of her removal from office.

Analysts say the loss significantly weakens Meloni's position in domestic politics at a time when Italy faces economic challenges and international pressures. Dissatisfaction with international alliances and concerns about rising energy costs amid global tensions are among the factors that may have influenced the vote.

A referendum victory would have given Meloni a stronger mandate to push through other major constitutional reforms. But the voter rejection not only blocks that path, it could also weaken her influence on the European stage, where she has so far been seen as a leader who has known how to stay in power.

Although the parties in the ruling coalition – including Fratelli d'Italia, Lega and Forza Italia – strongly supported the reform, the opposition managed to mobilize its electorate in a coordinated manner, securing a clear majority against the proposed changes.

The result of this referendum marks a key moment for Italian politics, opening a new phase of uncertainty and confrontation between the government and the opposition, while attention now shifts to the next steps that Meloni will take to maintain her authority and political stability. / The Guardian
