What would happen if the justice referendum were lost? "I think a possible 'no' victory would be a shame. Because this is a nation that needs to be modernized, and what we're trying to do is modernize it. We're accused of wanting to control judges," while "we want to liberate judges. We want to liberate judges' merit. We want to free judges from the interplay of factions, from having to respond to a system of factions in order to pursue a career regardless of their worth."

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this in an interview with Bloomberg.

In his opinion, "it would be a shame if, let's say, the 'yes' vote didn't win, as I believe it will, because it would be a huge missed opportunity."

The "apocalyptic" tones used "by some are ridiculous and unfortunately betray an attempt to use the political conflict to ensure that nothing changes in Italy," he explains.
