Overview
- Italy’s main judges’ association, the ANM, chose Giuseppe Tango as president with 31 votes and one abstention.
- Outgoing president Cesare Parodi stepped down for family reasons and said the role needs full-time focus, and he will stay on the central committee.
- Parodi told colleagues the referendum win for No is a strong mandate but not a blank check, and he urged transparency and self-regulation to earn trust.
- Tango backed the No campaign and had warned of an authoritarian drift if the reform passed, and he now stresses that the ANM is not a political party.
- He aims to reopen a formal dialogue with the government using the eight points the ANM previously took to Palazzo Chigi, even as tensions persist after a pro-Yes member, Natalia Ceccarelli, resigned from the board following a clash.
