The polls are approaching and we are back to discussing differentiated autonomy. Only a few days ago the Senate rejected the so-called "prejudices" put forward by the opposition. The Calderoli bill, if considered even only on the level of political debate, represents an ideological fracture point, and not only that, of no small importance. The approval of such a reform should have, at the very least, been preceded by a popular referendum capable of influencing and testing the will of the Italians given and considering that the definitive green light for such a project will have an important impact on the daily life of the population all.
According to what we learn, the modification amendments proposed by Fratelli d'Italia would tend to be aimed at compressing the compromising effects of the reform to be approved. But, it would seem at a first glance, although potentially aimed at obtaining an increase in resources for all those Regions that had not requested Autonomy at the time of approval of the measure containing the essential levels of performance, those same amendments, in progress, do not they would seem able to offer guarantees in this sense. At least, currently, it would seem difficult to support it. Especially when the aforementioned Calderoli bill seems to omit any and all reflections on differentiated regionalism by equating it on a differential level with the principles of statutory autonomy of the Regions in their being "special" and/or instead "ordinary". And, probably, the circumstance does not seem to be able to be overlooked at all.
The conditions of particular autonomy, recognized for the Special Statute Regions, undeniably qualify to place themselves on a level of derogation from a regime of so-called common law, since the autonomy recognized for such realities necessarily ends up embracing different areas of intervention , concerning, from time to time, both the internal organization of the Region that is affected, as well as the distribution of competences, as well as the space involving the relations between the Region itself and the State and the financial regime. This should be considered sufficient to express the utmost caution in wanting to intervene on an organizational structure that is so complex, and so difficult to manage already under the given conditions, that as a consequence of the Calderoli bill it could even suffer a setback.
