Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni narrowly lost a referendum on her flagship reform of the country's justice system, according to exit polls. The opposition-backed "No" camp secured between 49% and 53% of the vote, compared to the government's "Yes" campaign of 47% and 51% respectively. This could potentially undermine the ruling coalition ahead of the upcoming general election. The referendum was held on March 22-23 and will leave lasting effects on the relationship between the right-wing coalition and Italy's judiciary.
