Rome, 22 July (LaPresse) – With 106 votes in favour, 61 against and 11 abstentions, the Senate approved the constitutional reform bill on career separation, judicial organisation and the establishment of a disciplinary court in its second reading. Opposition protests in the Senate: many senators chanted “shame, shame”. PD parliamentarians protested by raising placards with the cover of the Constitution. From the benches of the M5S, they raised placards telling the majority not to push ahead with this law in the name of Falcone and Borsellino. “Not in my name”, read the placards alongside photos of the anti-Mafia judges. “The approval in the second reading in the Senate of the constitutional reform of the judiciary marks an important step towards a commitment we made to the Italian people and which we are pursuing with determination. The process is not yet complete, but today we confirm our determination to give Italy an increasingly efficient, fair and transparent judicial system,” wrote Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on social media.
