Chamber of Deputies Approves Extended Sitting to Fast-Track Judicial Career Split, Final Vote Set for Thursday

The bill is a constitutional reform that would separate the careers of judges and prosecutors.

Overview

  • Lawmakers backed the majority’s request for a seduta fiume by an 88-vote margin, triggering continuous debate.
  • The final vote has been scheduled no earlier than Thursday at 12:00.
  • Opposition parties denounced the move as a "strappo alla democrazia" and accused the majority of bending parliamentary rules.
  • Critics alleged the timing secures an absolute-majority vote after a center-right rally in the Marche, noting few opposition speakers were listed.
  • The Giunta per le autorizzazioni on the Almasri case was canceled and will be reconvened following the extended sitting.
