Opposition parties argue that the reform could compromise the independence of the judiciary.

Democratic Party leader Elly Schlein declared: "No to reform that weakens the independence of the judiciary, because only an independent judge can guarantee that the law is equal for all."

Former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, of the Five Star Movement, criticized the content of the bill. "The text of the reform contains a cunning and very intelligent mechanism to take the first fundamental step towards dismantling the judiciary," he stated.
