In Reggio Calabria, the campaign opposing the referendum on judicial separation is taking on a comical turn, characterized by traditional, almost absurd attempts to sway public opinion. Prominent among these tactics is the involvement of the National Association of Magistrates (Anm), which has taken a leading role in advocating for a 'no' vote. The controversy intensified with the emergence of posters in local courts, notably in the courtroom of Reggio Calabria, provoking outrage among legal professionals who contend that this form of propaganda undermines the integrity of the judiciary.

Carmelo Silvana Zinnarello, a local lawyer, raised concerns on social media over the presence of these 'no' campaign posters, labeling them as shameful and misleading within the context of a courtroom. His remarks sparked a reaction from the local Bar Association, which issued a statement distancing itself from the display of such materials, indicating a fracture within the legal community regarding the appropriateness of these campaigns in judicial spaces.

The incident highlights the increasingly contentious atmosphere surrounding the referendum, where the conduct of advocacy groups such as the Anm and their strategies are under scrutiny. As the country grapples with significant legal reforms, the implications of the referendum and the nature of its opposition reveal deeper tensions in the Italian legal and political landscape, raising questions about the future direction of justice in the country.
