Italian Voters Reject Meloni’s Judicial Reform

Giorgia Meloni faced a major political setback after Italian voters rejected her proposed judicial reforms in a national referendum. Around 54% voted against the changes, dealing a blow to her right-wing coalition ahead of upcoming elections.

Despite the defeat, Meloni said she would not resign, acknowledging the result while expressing regret over the missed opportunity to modernize Italy’s justice system. The vote saw strong turnout, reflecting deep divisions between the government and the judiciary.

The outcome has weakened Meloni’s political momentum and boosted opposition forces, with centre-left parties now aiming to unite. Analysts suggest the referendum result may reshape the political landscape as the country heads toward future elections.
