As of today, eight referendums are being examined by the Constitutional Court. The Council should decide on admissibility at the latest tomorrow, in case of approval of the questions the vote will be held in the spring, most likely in April.

There are eight questions in total: six on justice promoted by the Radicals, Lega and nine regional councils, another two promoted by the Luca Coscioni association for euthanasia and legal cannabis. Here's what they predict.

EUTHANASIA - The aim is to decriminalize the murder of the consenting party, punished with imprisonment from 6 to 15 years. With some exceptions: it remains a crime if it is a minor and in this case the penalties for murder apply.

CANNABIS - The request here is to cancel the penalties for those who grow cannabis (prison from 2 to 6 years and a fine from 26 thousand to 260 thousand euros) and the administrative sanction of the suspension of the license.

SEVERINE LAW - Abolish the provisions on incandiability, the rules that prevent participation in electoral competitions for the European and Italian Parliament and in regional, provincial and municipal elections of those who have been definitively convicted of mafia, terrorism, corruption and others serious crimes. And also abolish Article 11, which provides for the suspension for local administrators after first-degree conviction for some crimes.

PRECAUTIONARY CUSTODY - The aim is to reduce the scope of crimes for which the application of precautionary measures and in particular preventive detention is allowed: via illicit financing to parties and via the crimes punished with imprisonment of no less than five years unless there is a danger of the suspect escaping or contaminating evidence.

SEPARATION OF CAREERS - Either judge or prosecutor, do not allow the change of function anymore. Today 4 steps are possible, which will become two with the Cartabia reform.

JUDICIAL COUNCILS - Allow the vote of the lawyers who sit on the Judicial Councils also on the professionalism assessments of the judges.

DIRECT CIVIL LIABILITY OF THE JUDICIARY - By deleting part of the current rules, we want to introduce the direct civil liability of judges for judicial errors. Today it is the State that compensates the citizen who has suffered unjust damage and then competes against the magistrate. ELECTIONS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CSM - In this last question it is proposed to cancel the rule which establishes that each candidacy must be supported by the signatures of at least 25 presenters. The goal is to arrive at free individual candidacies, which are already foreseen in the Cartabia reform.
