Calderoli: De Luca opposes the autonomy of the Regions for a purely ideological position

“Campania and Puglia contrast the path of autonomy. But theirs, I hear, is one purely ideological position. It will be up to the two governors (De Luca and Emiliano; editor’s note), once the citizens experience the benefits of this process firsthand, to explain why they did not want to implement it ». The Minister for Regional Affairs and Autonomies, Roberto Calderoliindicates which governors are opposed to autonomy but explains, in an interview with Libero, that there are also center-left-led regions who are in favor.

The understandings

“There are Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia who have already signed the agreement with the government – Calderoli insists – then there is Piedmont which has not yet done so. And then Tuscany with Giani who is the one who has best interpreted the constitution. He has identified two subjects that can make a difference in his region and on those he has asked for a path of greater autonomy. And there are many others who are making this path ». A meeting is scheduled for the next few days between the minister and the presidents of the regional councils. “I will make my ministry and my skills available to find the right solutions for everyone – Calderoli reassures – for example, I have already given a mandate to the technicians to carry out a study on the major resources that a region could obtain on the basis of the individual competing subjects. I think it’s something that benefits everyone ».
