"Meloni conceded defeat in an online post, saying her camp will "respect this decision." She also pledged to "continue, with seriousness and determination, to work for the good of the nation and to honor the mandate entrusted to us.""
"The proposed reform was focused on separating career paths of judges and prosecutors, preventing them from moving from one role to another."
"Another pillar of the proposal was splitting the existing Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM) into two separate oversight bodies, where members would be drawn by lots instead of voted in by their peers."
"Ahead of the vote, Meloni's Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said the reform would fix the "para-Mafia mechanism" operating among judges."
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's proposal to reform Italy's judiciary faced rejection, with 54% of voters opposing the initiative. The reform aimed to separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors and to split the Superior Council of the Judiciary into two bodies selected by lot. Meloni acknowledged the defeat and committed to continuing her work for the nation. The outcome represents a significant setback for Meloni and her right-wing government, which has been in power since 2022.
