The Archdiocese of Milan has been actively promoting an event aligned with the campaign for voting 'no' on an upcoming constitutional referendum regarding the separation of judicial careers in Italy. This event, organized by 'LA Città dell’Uomo APS,' is set to take place via Zoom and aims to present arguments against the proposed constitutional change. Advertised on the diocesan portal, it emphasizes informing the public about the potential consequences of supporting the referendum.

Scheduled participants include notable figures in the legal and political fields, such as Enzo Balboni, a former professor of constitutional law at Università Cattolica, Antonio D’Andrea, a constitutional law professor from the University of Brescia, and Franco Monaco, a former parliament member and political commentator. The event is framed as a roundtable discussion, but it appears to focus predominantly on articulating the reasons for opposing the referendum rather than fostering an open debate, as it is positioned within an active electoral campaign.

While advocating for 'no,' the event raises questions about the impartiality of the information presented and the broader implications for democratic discourse in Italy. Given the historical and contemporary significance of the referendum, the participation of religious and academic figures underscores the interplay between political choices and institutional authority, inviting deeper scrutiny of the motivations that underpin opposition to judicial reform.
