Daniela Santanchgbregl is no longer the Tourism Minister in Italy. She declared her resignation on Wednesday. Before that, there was an important public vote in Italy. People call this a referendum. Citizens voted on new rules for the justice system.
The government wanted to change the justice system a lot. But most people in Italy said no. This is a big loss for Giorgia Meloni. She is the leader of the government. After the 'no' vote, there was much arguing.
Meloni then asked Daniela Santanchgbregl to step down. Santanchgbregl belongs to the same party as Meloni. There were already accusations against the minister for some time. She is said to have made mistakes as a businesswoman earlier. The public prosecutor's office is checking this now.
Santanchgbregl wrote a letter to Meloni. She writes in it: I am leaving because you want it. But she also says: I did nothing wrong. Two other important staff members resigned before her. Meloni herself wants to stay in office.
