 On 30th October 2025, the Italian Parliament approved a constitutional amendment that will be put to a referendum in March 2026. A brainchild of the Meloni government, the reform redesigns the constitutional framework governing Italy’s judicial system. Among other changes, it separates previously unified career paths for prosecutors and judges, and introduces a mechanism of appointment by sortition for members of all these bodies. Read in its historical and political context, we argue, the reform problematically weakens the third branch of the Italian system of government.
