The 2025 Referendum is approaching, with the important voting event scheduled for June 8 and 9, during which Italians will be called to express their opinions on five questions of crucial relevance to Italian citizenship and workplace safety. The issues addressed include amendments to legislation concerning residency and citizenship, as well as matters related to workers’ rights and fixed-term contracts. Among the proposals is a reduction of the residency period required to obtain citizenship from ten to five years, along with the repeal of the dismissal regulations introduced by the Jobs Act, which could significantly impact the labor market.
The polling stations will be open from 7 AM to 11 PM on Sunday, June 8, and from 7 AM to 3 PM on Monday, June 9. The questions posed by the referendums not only pertain to legal aspects but also touch upon the daily lives of Italian citizens, making this event a pivotal moment for the evolution of legislation regarding labor and civil rights.
