It is an uncertain moment for italy, where Prime Minister matteo renzi says he is stepping down after he lost a referendum on constitutional reform. The countrys youngest ever leader stated his political future on winning the referendum. The voters chose to deny, granting him more powers. Ar more i am joined by orian at royal matteo renzi referred to himself as the demolish her. Why did the people vote against him so overwhelmingly . There has been a miss understanding and over exaggeration of the meaning of this referendum. This is our referendum, a no vote led by opposition forces, especially some extreme populist party.

Many people believing italy has some major problems. The institutional asset of the country. It is not just referendum itself. You would say this referendum does not fit into the current trend of antiestablishment moves like the brexit and the election of donald trump. You think this is more specific to italy. Despite the fact that and these extreme rightwing movements across europe, it is part of this trend we have seen with brexit and with the move rising across europe.
