The Senate chamber unanimously approved, with 31 votes in favor, the constitutional reform creating the Judicial Appointments Council and modifying judicial governance. The bill, pushed by the government in October 2024 after the Audio case scandal, aims to introduce radical changes in judge selection and judicial administration. Senators from various parties backed the initiative, though they requested indications for its refinement.
