On Monday, referendums in Italy aimed at easing citizenship requirements and enhancing job protection protocols failed, falling short due to minimal voter participation.

Polling agency YouTrend reported that the turnout was considerably lower than the necessary threshold of more than half the electorate, leading to the initiatives' rejection.

The defeat shows a lack of public interest or engagement in altering these legal frameworks, as documented by the national polling data.
