ROME — Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is on course to narrowly lose a high-stakes referendum on justice reform Monday, according to a poll released as soon as voting ended at 3 p.m.
According to a survey by Swg carried on the La7 broadcaster, the margins were tight but 49-53 percent of the electorate was expected to vote against Meloni’s proposed reforms, while 47-51 percent were expected to vote in favor.
A loss in the referendum would be likely to weaken her hand politically.
