Italian Voters Reject Meloni's Judicial Reform 55-45% in Constitutional Referendum

Italian voters rejected PM Meloni's proposed judicial reform 55-45% in a constitutional referendum. Meloni conceded defeat, calling it 'a lost opportunity.' The result echoes former PM Renzi's 2016 referendum defeat and constrains Meloni's reform agenda. The outcome demonstrates limits on executive-driven constitutional change within EU member states, relevant to similar reform efforts in Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
