Arianna Meloni, following the national direction meeting of her party, Fratelli d'Italia (FdI), in Rome, has spoken about the referendum scheduled for March 22 and 23. She rejected any political interpretation of the referendum, asserting that the proposed justice reform should not be viewed as a test of the current government, which will be evaluated during the 2027 elections. Instead, Meloni framed the referendum as a necessary step for restoring citizens' faith in the justice system, emphasizing that the reform aims to empower the citizens in their quest for justice.

In an exclusive interview, Meloni discussed the key elements of the proposed Nordio law, which she argues is designed to bring about a fairer justice system. She claimed that the reform ensures the independence of judges, thereby guaranteeing citizens their right to a fair trial. Meloni also pointed out that the reform would introduce accountability for magistrates who make errors, an issue she highlighted has rarely been addressed in the past.

Moreover, Meloni articulated the fundamental principle guiding this reform as 'freedom,' contrasting it with political control. She expressed a desire to liberate magistrates from political pressures, aiming for their complete independence. This focus on independence and accountability has significant implications for the judicial system in Italy, seeking to build a system where justice is not only served but is also trusted by the public, thereby enhancing the rule of law in the country.
