From abortion to cannabis: the issues that interest Italians

In short, nothing to do with the first abrogative referendum in the history of Italy, that of 1974 on divorce, when the turnout was 87.7 percent. But there it was a whole other story.

Italians are obviously interested in giving their opinion when the topic involves them in a more personal way. And, in fact, the forecasts on the two referendums proposed in recent months, that one on euthanasia and cannabis, they were definitely better than these on justice. But unfortunately, been judged inadmissible by the Constitutional Court.
