Carmen Consoli: "From singer to 'speaking' citizen, I vote no to the referendum on Justice"

The singer-songwriter Carmen Consoli announced on Instagram her opposition to the referendum on justice scheduled for March 22 and 23. “I vote No. Why? Because I believe in the wise work of our founding fathers and mothers and their enlightened vision of democracy and justice. I vote No. Because even the no votes can help a still adolescent country grow, and it is known that adolescence is rebellious,” she wrote.

“I know, I should only think about singing, assuming I do it well... but I am disobedient and I want to bypass the separation of careers. And as a singing citizen, I become a speaking citizen. I also want to say a few words about this referendum,” the artist continues. In her remarks, Consoli also brings up considerations on the topic of reform: “With the Cartabia Law, the transfer of functions is already reduced to a minimum, I don’t know if the game is worth the candle. And then there’s the aspect of the two CSMs, which is an attempt to reduce the influence of factions, I don’t know if it succeeds, let’s see if it does. I would add, let’s hope, in the sense that these are not my words... they are too beautiful to be mine. I don’t speak that well. These are the words of my fellow citizen Ignazio La Russa,” the musician emphasizes.
