The referendums on Justice and the abolition of the Severino law proposed by the Lega and the Radicals flopped .
At 11 pm, the closing time of the polls, the turnout remained very far from reaching the required quorum , equal to 50% + 1, stopping at 20.95.
A stalemate that was sensed since 12, when at national level not even 7% of those entitled had withdrawn the cards with the five questions. And that at 7 pm became even more concrete, with the turnout reaching national level only 14.5%.
In Sardinia, attendance is even lower : 5% at noon, 10.1% in the second survey at 7pm, with the definitive figure at 14.5.
Percentages that therefore make the ballot of the ballots a mere pro forma (with yeses that are given at 70%).
The promoters, including the secretary of the Carroccio Matteo Salvini , have attributed, since the first signs of a hole in the water, the small participation in the "poor communication" and the few insights that would have been dedicated to the questions. To the point of also addressing, in the imminence of the vote, Sergio Mattarella and Mario Draghi , asking them to launch an appeal to the voters not to desert the polls.
Ditto Silvio Berlusconi , according to whom the referendums on justice " were boycotted with the vote in a single day , with absolute silence in many newspapers and on state television".
All this, said the Forza Italia leader after going to the polling station ( violating electoral silence among other things ) to indulge a "clear desire to keep things as they are " and because of the "masochism" of the Italians "who do not they go to vote and stay at home ".
Immediately after the closing of the polls, Andrea Ostellari , a member of the League, spoke at Porta a Porta, on Rai1, reiterating the concept: "We record the turnout in the referendums with the utmost attention in relation to the deafening silence that did not help us to know very important questions. But this battle does not end there: we will examine the data and work to build better justice ", he concluded.
