Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Democratic Party Secretary Elly Schlein will be guests of Enrico Mentana tonight on La7's "Yes or No" special. The Prime Minister and the opposition leader will enter the studio one after the other to present their reasons for voting Yes or No in the referendum on justice, scheduled for Sunday, March 22nd and Monday, March 23rd. This will be followed by a face-to-face meeting between Antonio Di Pietro and Clemente Mastella.

"Some magistrates are campaigning against the government for ideological reasons," Giorgia Meloni states in the preview. "News cases are very relevant because this is a reform of magistrates' accountability," she adds. " Regarding the family in the woods, beyond the highly ideological approach to the way the case was handled, there is also negligence . And introducing the principle of accountability helps solve this problem. These are specific cases that demonstrate the malfunctioning of the system."

"The prime minister has exploited every current event to attack the judiciary," slammed Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein . "If you exploit current events, things can end up like they did in Rogoredo, where the investigation is escalating . But immediately after the incident, Meloni and Salvini attacked the judges, saying they shouldn't have even begun investigating. If they hadn't investigated and had listened to Meloni and Salvini, that police officer would still be wearing his uniform today, undermining the credibility and honest work that so many police officers do every day, respecting the law and enforcing it."

As for potential repercussions for the government: " Frankly," Meloni says, "I don't see any political repercussions regardless of how the referendum goes, especially for the government, because we know that the government is usually shot down by its majority, not by the opposition. And this majority is solid. If the 'no' vote wins, I'm concerned about the message that things can't be changed in this country, that the flaws in the system can't be corrected. I see it as a contest between those who want to stay the same, defend the status quo, and those who want to look ahead and hand down a better nation to our children ."

"Justice is not improved by placing judges under government control," Schlein argues. " The drawing of lots eliminates democratic representation, not factions, and the separation of functions is already in place. This separation of functions could have been strengthened with an ordinary law. The truth," Schlein continues, " is that in most countries where separation of careers exists, the public prosecutor is directly a government body. That's where they want to go. And that's where we don't want to go."
