Debate on the Constitutional Referendum
Contrasting arguments
Aula Magna, Tribunal of Milan | Via Carlo Freguglia 1, Milan
The constitutional referendum is approaching. The arguments for Yes and No sometimes become confused, in the present context, with themes that deviate from the most completely technical aspects, and that will have important consequences on the life and future of our country, whatever the result.
The Secretariat of UniCost in Milan – Unit for the Constitution – is organising, in collaboration with CEST, an afternoon of debate to explore the various contrasting positions with a rigorous approach.
Massimiliano Malvicini, doctoral student in Constitutional Law at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa and member of CEST, will participate as a discussant.
In partnership with UniCost – Unità per la Costituzione
