Controversy Erupts as Italy Holds Referendum on Judiciary Overhaul

As Italy gears up for a national referendum on a government-led overhaul of the judicial system, the stakes have never been higher for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her administration. The vote, which is widely being seen as a de facto confidence vote on Meloni's leadership, has sparked a heated campaign dominated by inflammatory rhetoric rather than meaningful debate.

At the heart of the controversy is a campaign flyer that circulated online, quoting Meloni as taking aim at judges and feminists.
