Meloni's government suffers "earthquake" after referendum defeat, who are the ministers who resigned - Euronews Albania

After losing the referendum on judicial reform, the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is facing a wave of resignations and political pressure. The first concrete effect was the removal of Andrea Delmastro Delle Vedove from the post of Undersecretary of Justice, who announced his irrevocable resignation, taking responsibility for his actions, although he stated that he had done nothing illegal. Giusi Bartolozzi, head of the cabinet of the Minister of Justice, also resigned after controversy over her statements to magistrates.

The developments come after a series of meetings held by Meloni with Fratelli d'Italia leaders throughout the morning, with the aim of providing a strong political response following the referendum result.

Meanwhile, the spotlight remains on Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè, who is under pressure for investigations related to her company's activities and its management during the pandemic. Political sources for "Corriere Della Sera" say that the possibilities for her departure are being discussed, although a final decision has not yet been made.

Delmastro's resignation is also linked to controversy surrounding his involvement in a business activity linked to people close to individuals convicted of Camorra ties. On the other hand, Bartolozzi had been criticized for strong public statements attacking the judicial system.

The opposition reacted immediately to the developments. Debora Serracchiani from the Democratic Party described the resignations as belated and dictated by the referendum result, accusing the government of a lack of transparency and respect for institutions.
