Overview
- Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni released a 13-minute social video urging Italians to vote Yes to confirm the government’s justice reform and pledging clarity against what she called misinformation.
- Meloni said she will not resign if the No side prevails, arguing the overhaul would modernize the system, increase accountability, and counter what she describes as judicial obstruction on immigration and security.
- Marina Berlusconi, in a letter to la Repubblica, endorsed separating judges’ and prosecutors’ careers and partial sortition for the CSM, calling for a depolarized debate focused on substance.
- Forza Italia figures praised Marina Berlusconi’s appeal, while Democratic Party leaders criticized the plan as a risk to judicial independence, and some opponents framed her move as a political signal.
- The campaign accelerates into its final week with a Meloni rally set for Milan’s Teatro Parenti on Thursday, as commentary highlights concerns about complex constitutional changes being decided by referendum.
