This referendum asked to abolish rewards for local administrations which accepted nuclear, and coal, plants in their territory.

However, if ministers were definitely subjected to ordinary courts, the Christian Democracy and the Italian Communist Party later approved a law strongly limiting the civil responsibility for judges.
