Italian voters reject constitutional referendum on judicial reform proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government
Italy held a two-day constitutional referendum on Sunday and Monday on judicial reforms that would separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors and change their oversight bodies. The 'No' camp won with approximately 54% of the vote against 46% for the government-backed 'Yes' campaign, with turnout reaching nearly 59%. The defeat is seen as a significant political setback for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni one year before national elections.
