Italian referenda on #citizenship, #labourlaws fail due to low turn out
Italian referendum proposals to ease citizenship laws and increase worker protections failed on Monday due to low voter turnout. The outcome was a win for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her far-right allies, who strongly opposed the proposals.
Italy’s ‘referendum weekend’ is at risk amid an expected low turnout.
This weekend, Italians can vote in five rather technical referendums covering issues ranging from labour rights to citizenship.
But low public awareness and poor turnout projections threaten to sink them - a result the government may not mind, having urged abstention instead of a clear “No” vote.
