The Calderoli bill has been approved by Parliament and is now awaiting the President of the Republic’s signature before being published in the Official Journal. However, doubts remain within the blue party, with three FI deputies deserting the vote on this controversial bill.
The debate on differentiated autonomy continues to be heated, both within the blue party and in the political landscape as a whole. While some members express concerns about the reform, it has been significantly improved thanks to FI’s contributions. The opposition, on the other hand, is launching an abrogation referendum and referencing an EU document that rejects differentiated autonomy.
The Northern regions administered by the center-right are eager to acquire new powers granted by the law, while Emilia Romagna’s governor considers it misguided. This has sparked debates and discussions within various communities, with differing opinions on the implications of this reform.
As tensions remain high between the center-right and opposition parties ahead of upcoming regional elections, differentiated autonomy is expected to be a key issue in shaping public opinion.
