Italy's proposed justice reform, led by Minister Carlo Nordio, has ignited intense debate.

The reform aims to separate judicial careers, a move critics argue could politicize the judiciary.

Giuseppe Santalucia, head of the National Magistrates Association, warns this could undermine judicial independence.

Nordio defends the plan, citing public distrust in the judiciary and denying punitive intentions.

The reform's potential impact on democracy and governance has polarized opinions, with some calling for a referendum.

Meanwhile, magistrates' associations are considering strikes to oppose the changes, emphasizing the risks to citizens and the justice system.
