Italian Prime Minister's Judicial Reform Referendum Rejected, Youth Vote Decisive

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's referendum seeking greater control over judges has been defeated. The outcome was significantly influenced by opposition votes from Generation Z. Author Roberto Saviano described the result as signaling the beginning of the end for Meloni's political era, interpreting it as a broader expression of distrust toward the prime minister rather than merely a rejection of judicial reform. The referendum asked Italians to decide on changes to the state's political structure aligned with Meloni's vision.
