Referendum, the FdI event in Milan. "Eradicate the cancerous power of the currents"
The event organized by Fratelli d’Italia in Milan focuses on advocating for the constitutional reform in response to the upcoming referendum.
Fratelli d'Italia held a significant event in Milan centered on the upcoming referendum regarding constitutional reforms aimed at the judiciary. This gathering featured three separate rooms, each named after one of the pillars of the proposed reform: the High Constitutional Court, the CSM reform, and the separation of careers. The minister of Agriculture, Francesco Lollobrigida, spoke passionately about the necessity of these reforms, highlighting that the main opposition has been that the Constitution should not be changed, although he noted it has been amended multiple times in Italy's republican history.
Lollobrigida addressed the arguments made by the opposition, termed as 'the people of No' during the referendum campaign, emphasizing that historical precedent exists for modifying the Constitution. He reminded the audience that the founding fathers of the Republic had worked diligently on the constitution and included mechanisms for its amendment, recognizing the need to adapt the constitutional framework to contemporary times and conditions. This argument seeks to justify the necessity for reform by portraying it as a means to modernize Italy's legal system.
The implications of this referendum and the push for reform are significant. If successful, it could reshape the judicial landscape in Italy, moving toward a system perceived as more efficient and less politically influenced. As the event unfolded, the Fratelli d’Italia party positioned themselves as champions of change, relying on historical context to sway public opinion in favor of their proposed amendments to the Italian Constitution and thereby eradicate what they describe as the 'cancerous power' of various currents within the judicial system.
