Justice reform, Meloni: ‘Italians, don't be fooled, the referendum is not about me’

Rome, 18 November (LaPresse) – ‘I think the time has come to change’ the justice system ‘with rules that are so common sense that the opposition no longer knows what to invent to poison the wells. They have so few arguments that some journalists have had to invent fake statements by Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino’. This was stated by Prime Minister and FdI leader Giorgia Meloni at the closing event of the centre-right election campaign in Veneto in support of Alberto Stefani, currently underway at the Gran Teatro Geox in Padua. "To those who legitimately oppose the reform, I want to say: fight your battle, fight it openly, fight it without compromise, but do not exploit the heroes of this nation, do not exploit them for personal gain. In their presence, we must only bow down, so please leave them alone,‘ added the Prime Minister, addressing the Italian people, to whom she said, ’I want to say, don't be fooled, don't be fooled. Go and vote, looking at the content of the reform. They will try to convince you of everything, that if you go and vote, it is a referendum on the government, “Meloni yes-Meloni no”. Look, the government will remain in office until the end of the legislature, we will set this record too'.
