Italian Opposition Criticizes Meloni Government Constitutional Reform

A proposed decree expanding urban 'Daspo' measures, which target persistent nuisance behaviors, is facing significant public backlash in Italy. Critics argue the decree unfairly targets vulnerable groups like rose vendors and street washers, while also failing to address crimes committed by the powerful. The government's rejection of an amendment aimed at penalizing powerful individuals has further fueled opposition, with ten million Italians reportedly rejecting the reform. The Italian Chamber of Deputies has approved a bill concerning the valorization of maritime resources and the delegation to the government for the reorganization of local police functions. An opposition voice stated that the proposed constitutional reform is a mere photocopy of text discussed during the previous legislature. The speaker claimed the Meloni government attempted to claim sole authorship of the reform to use it as a propaganda tool. The opposition indicated they intend to abstain from the upcoming vote.
