ROME (Sputnik) — Prime Minister
Matteo Renzi urged some 47 million of eligible voters to say "yes" to proposed changes in the referendum, which is the bellwether of public support for his center-left Democratic Party.
Renzi vowed to step down if the vote is negative. Italy's anti-establishment Five Star Movement has been campaigning against prime minister’s constitutional reforms. Opinion polls indicate they have a high chance of being rejected.
