In a significant show of support for the constitutional reform aimed at separating judicial careers, fifty judges from various regions of Italy have stepped forward to voice their stance during a public discussion at Palazzo Wedekind in Rome. These judges, coming from diverse offices and levels, represent many others who may not feel able to express their opinions publicly. They assert that the current representation of judges opposing the reform, which is driven by the National Association of Magistrates (Anm), does not reflect their views, and emphasize the need for a more credible judiciary.

The event highlighted the frustrations of the judiciary with the Anm's political stance, particularly its promotion of a 'No' campaign against the reform. President of the Court of Cassation, Giacomo Rocchi, expressed his disapproval of the hateful rhetoric coming from those who defend the status quo and claimed judicial independence is at risk. He underlined that the judicial system should inherently belong to the public rather than to specific factions within the judiciary, reiterating the belief that the proposed changes would significantly strengthen the institution.

Rosita D'Angiolella, the legal advisor to the government, also spoke out against the notion of judiciary unity put forward by 'No' supporters. She stated that the suggestion of a monolithic stance within the judiciary is misleading and that the reform is intended to enhance its integrity and reliability. The wart of information regarding the judiciary's responses to the proposed changes reflects a broader debate about the future of judicial independence in Italy and the relationship between law and politics.
