The Italian referendum aimed to expedite citizenship for certain immigrants and strengthen labor rights failed to pass due to low turnout, influenced by a boycott from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and other right-wing parties. With only 22.7% of eligible voters participating, the referendum, which proposed reducing citizenship wait times from 10 to 5 years, was invalidated. Despite the setback, CGIL leader Maurizio Landini encourages continued dialogue on critical issues like immigration and Italy's demographic crisis, characterized by an aging population and declining birth rates.
The recent Italian referendum aimed at facilitating citizenship for certain immigrants and enhancing labor rights was rendered void due to insufficient voter turnout.
Voting turnout was only 22.7%, far below the required 50%. The low engagement highlights a deeper crisis in Italian democracy, according to CGIL leader Maurizio Landini.
