People in Italy cast their votes. There was a referendum. A referendum is a vote by the people. People voted about a justice reform. This means: Rules for judges must change. Rules for prosecutors must change too.
The government of Giorgia Meloni wants the reform. It wants to separate the jobs of judges and prosecutors. Now they can swap roles in Italy. The government says: This makes the system more fair. The election of the justice administration should also change.
Many critics are afraid for the justice system. They say: Politics gets too much power. The independence of the courts could be in danger. First numbers came on Monday evening. The result is very close. It is an important test for Giorgia Meloni.
