Puglia President Challenges Autonomy Law

Published: 2024-08-05

In a significant move against the differentiated autonomy law, Michele Emiliano, the President of the Puglia Region, has announced plans to challenge the legislation in the Constitutional Court.

He argues that the law infringes on the powers of the regions, as outlined in Article 127 of the Italian Constitution.

This legal action complements ongoing referendum initiatives aimed at gathering a million signatures nationwide to oppose the law.

Emiliano emphasizes that this effort is crucial for protecting the unity of Italy and ensuring equal rights for all citizens.

The Puglia Region warns that increased autonomy could undermine financial resources for less affluent regions, hindering economic development and social cohesion.
