Young Italian voters significantly influenced a recent referendum on judicial reforms, with 68.4% of those aged 18-29 voting against the proposed constitutional amendments. This demographic, often perceived as apathetic, demonstrated a strong engagement, with many, like Filippo Michelini, traveling back to Italy to cast their ballots. The reforms, championed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government as essential for impartiality, were criticized for potentially granting excessive power to the executive. The referendum's failure has led to the resignation of Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè and other officials, exposing internal tensions within Meloni's coalition and among her allies, including Forza Italia and the League, while the opposition seeks to capitalize on the government's turmoil.
