Campania has followed Puglia, Sardinia and Tuscany in appealing to the Constitutional Court on the cabinet’s planned differentiated autonomy on the grounds that it is constitutionally illegitimate.
The regional government notified the appeal to the prime minister’s office on Monday afternoon.
In the appeal, Campania questioned, among others, the agreements provided for by the law between single regions and the central government and in particular the attribution of wider forms of autonomy to regions and the determination of the so-called LEP, or essential levels of core services that must be guaranteed nationwide. In the appeal, Campania denounced in particular that “the law allows a devolution of powers to the regions that is so vast and uncontrolled, including in sectors affecting fundamental rights and services”, such as healthcare, public education, social security and the civil protection, “to undermine the sovereignty of the State and break the national unity and the equality of citizens in different
areas of the country”.
