"Tariffs on Italy are threatened. Case is dropped."

Justice is independent in most EU countries.

But I think tariffs cannot be imposed on individual countries in the EU. At least that was how I understood the situation with Spain.

There's quite a few asterisks that need to be appended to "independent".

It is quite independent in Italy actually. The government is pushing for a constitutional amendment to help "fix" this feature. There is going to be a referendum on the change very soon.

I have ancestral Italian Citizenship but have never lived in Italy.

I am occasionally called upon by the local consulate to perform my civic duty and vote.

Just this week I sent them back my ballot, now marked, for this referendum in a sealed envelope.

This referendum required me to dig more deeply than usual into Italian politics before I could decide which way I wanted to vote.
