Referendum on Judiciary Reforms in Italy

Italy is holding a two-day referendum on constitutional reforms proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The reforms aim to restructure the judiciary by separating the roles of judges and prosecutors and reforming their oversight body.

The reform proposes changes to the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM), dividing it into two separate councils for judges and prosecutors. A 15-member disciplinary court would be established, with members selected by lots instead of being voted in by their peers. Three members of the disciplinary court would be appointed by Italy’s ceremonial president, and three would be chosen from a list of experienced lawyers approved by parliament.

Proponents argue that the reform will ensure impartiality and improve the efficiency of the justice system. However, critics claim it represents a political power grab and fails to address longstanding issues such as lengthy trials and prison overcrowding.

Elly Schlein, leader of the centre-left Democratic Party, criticizes the referendum as weakening judicial independence. Criminal defense lawyer Franco Moretti, head of the "no" campaign, warns that the new court could become politically influenced.

Opinion polls suggest a tight contest between the supporters and opponents of the reform. A rejection of the referendum would be a setback for Prime Minister Meloni, who has led a stable coalition government since October 2022. Preliminary results are expected after the polls close at 3pm (14:00 GMT) on Mon, Oct 16, 2023.

The outcome of the referendum could have significant implications for the political landscape in Italy, affecting both the ruling coalition and opposition parties.
