Overview
- The vote on the constitutional justice reform remains scheduled for March 22–23 after the President signed the decree and an urgent suspension request was rejected, with a TAR Lazio hearing set for January 27.
- The citizen committee plans to file the 500,000 signatures with the Court of Cassation to obtain formal promoter status, which carries access to campaign rights and reimbursements of one euro per valid signature.
- A dispute over the ballot wording is unresolved, with the Cassation-approved title question potentially challenged by a citizen proposal listing each constitutional article changed.
- Supporters of the reform filed a complaint with the Rome prosecutor seeking the preventive seizure of ANM-backed posters that ask, “Would you want judges dependent on politics?”, alleging false information and social alarm.
- Opposition parties requested an urgent briefing from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and pressed for a postponement, while Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said the date challenge should be left to the January 27 ruling.
