Italy Eases Court Oversight on Public Tenders Amid Protests
Italy's parliament approved a reform that loosens controls over public tenders, aiming to speed up procedures and boost the economy, but critics fear it may lead to wasteful spending and legal issues. The reform reduces the powers of the court of auditors and introduces measures like a 'silence means consent' clause, sparking protests from magistrates and opposition lawmakers. The move is part of broader judicial reforms, including a planned overhaul of the justice system.
