"TV, newspapers, and media outlets are not talking about the referendums enough, and the government is not expressing its opinion. Thus, a good part of the country does not know that voting will take place on June 8 and 9." This was declared to Corriere della Sera by the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini.

"Misinformation - he continues - risks not encouraging voter participation. By combining labor and citizenship rights, we aim to radically change the policies of the last thirty years, which have imposed a condition of eternal precariousness on young people and women. We do not want to call into question the current balance of power and ensure that our Constitution is truly applied. Some are afraid of democracy and prefer silence".

The leader of the Cgil is confident that "there is a commitment from all political forces, even those who have not signed for the referendums, so that the quorum is reached. All the opposition forces we met have assured us of their commitment, while the majority parties have not responded to us and this worries me. I hope that everyone will give the indication to go and vote. Silence or even the invitation to go to the beach would be an anti-democratic act".

And looking at the government he states: «So far I see a disturbing silence, I don't know if it's out of embarrassment or choice, because the measures taken by this executive go in the opposite direction, both on citizenship and on the liberalization of fixed-term contracts. But I want to say that these referendums are not against this or that government or political force. These referendums are against a dominant culture. Instead, we want to put work, people and their rights back at the center».
