"The Italians have decided and we respect this decision, said Meloni as the results came through on Monday afternoon. We will move forward, as we always have done, with responsibility, determination and respect towards the Italian people and Italy."
"While the nature of the reforms, which would have required amendments to Italy's post-fascism constitution, were technical and complex, the referendum campaign was mostly filled with inflammatory rhetoric from Meloni and her ministers towards the judiciary."
"Her standing is going to suffer, said D'Alimonte. She's going to be a weaker prime minister."
"The referendum defeat will make it harder for Meloni's ruling coalition to push forward with plans to pass an electoral law that could give the alliance a comfortable win in the 2027 general elections."
In a recent referendum, 54.63% of Italian voters rejected proposed judicial reforms by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The turnout was unexpectedly high at 58.5%. Meloni acknowledged the decision and expressed commitment to move forward responsibly. Analysts suggest that this defeat could weaken her standing and complicate her coalition's plans for future electoral laws. The reforms aimed to amend Italy's constitution, but the campaign was marked by inflammatory rhetoric. Meloni's government, despite its stability, faces challenges ahead.
