What is happening

Parliamentary activity focused mainly on security, justice, immigration, taxation and the economy. Measures included security and immigration decrees, tax changes, welfare reforms, the Mattei Plan and amendments related to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The premiership reform was frozen in committee after Senate approval, while the differentiated autonomy law was affected by a 2024 Constitutional Court ruling that declared some provisions unconstitutional. Electoral-law reform passed its first reading in the Chamber of Deputies and is under examination by the Senate. AGI also reports that the judicial-careers separation reform was rejected in a referendum. Some measures, including legislation on violence against women and domestic violence, were approved unanimously, while a sexual-violence bill remains under Senate examination and is being amended.

Why is it on the Radar?

The figures describe a legislature largely driven by government initiatives and decrees, with frequent use of confidence votes. The status of the reforms varies: some have been approved, others remain under examination, and some have been frozen, amended or rejected.
