Meloni admits Italians know as much about judicial reform as Riga politicians know about Liepāja
Italy's Prime Minister acknowledges in an Instagram video that the people have spoken, but promises to continue working for the people's benefit. We've heard something like that before.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has admitted in an Instagram video that her judicial system reform has failed as spectacularly as attempting to convince Liepāja residents that Riga is a better city. With 53.8 percent against 46.2 percent, Italians clearly said: no thanks, we don't need judges and prosecutors to be sorted out.
Meloni, who had previously announced she wouldn't step down even in case of defeat, now diplomatically speaks about a missed opportunity to modernize Italy. This is almost as convincing as the Liepāja Museum's story about how history actually happened in our city — which is genuinely interesting, unlike many other places where history is just made up.
The reform envisioned introducing new self-monitoring institutions and allowing parliament to get involved in personnel decisions. Critics warned this would give politicians too much influence, but as we know, politicians never overflow with power. Never.
Although the referendum defeat is obvious, Meloni's party "Fratelli d'Italia" still leads in polls. This proves that Italians are ready to vote for politicians, but not for their ideas — a principle also familiar in Latvia, where we sometimes vote with our hearts, not our minds.
