Italie

Italie, or Italy, is currently newsworthy due to a recent referendum on judicial reform proposed by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The referendum, held on March 23, 2026, aimed to reorganize the careers of judges. However, it was rejected by a margin of 53.67% to 45.68%, representing a significant setback for Meloni's administration. Despite the defeat, Meloni has stated she does not intend to resign. Separately, Italy is also relevant due to the popularity of heliskiing in the Alps. While banned in France, many agencies offer trips to Italy and Switzerland for this activity, highlighting Italy's role as a destination for extreme sports enthusiasts.
