Green light for key Italian reforms

Italy’s highest court is set to give a green light today for a referendum due to take place in the autumn on a major constitutional reform, daily la Repubblica reported on Saturday.

The referendum, in which people can vote on a series of changes to the country’s constitution, will be a big test for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s government.

Renzi has said he would resign if people voted against the reforms, one of the main pillars of the agenda of his center government.
