Arianna Meloni emphasizes that the upcoming referendum on the separation of careers is not a vote on the government, countering claims that it is linked to her leadership.
In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Arianna Meloni, the political secretary of the Brothers of Italy, addressed misconceptions surrounding the upcoming referendum set for March regarding the separation of judicial careers. She clarified that this referendum should not be interpreted as a referendum on the current government or its leader, Giorgia Meloni, as some critics have suggested. Meloni highlighted the importance of reform in the justice system, stating that while governments may change, the need for structural reforms remains crucial for Italy's future.
Arianna Meloni emphasized that the referendum is intended to facilitate necessary judicial reforms rather than to test the government’s popularity. By advocating for the 'yes' vote among magistrates, she aims to alleviate fears of a 'cataclysm' should the reforms be implemented. Her statements signal a firm stance that the reform agenda will not be swayed by the political climate or opposition attempts to paint it as a threat to the current executive.
Meloni's remarks also serve to reinforce the position of the Brothers of Italy in the national political landscape, asserting that they are committed to governance until the end of their mandate in 2027. As debates around the referendum continue, her clarifications may influence public perception and voting behavior, as the political party navigates its path forward amidst calls for early elections and opposition pressure.
