The Minister of Regional Affairs, Roberto Calderolihas returned to talk about the theme ofdifferentiated autonomy. This morning he did this in Vibo Valentia on the occasion of the Lectio Magistralis held at the Institute of Criminology.
«What he has to worry and who says the OECD, is that The locomotive regions entered a development trap. The OECD says: in ten years there are three regions, Piedmont Liguria and Tuscany, who can enter the transition area, to be a locomotive to have the need to be helped. It takes a shock, says the OECD, through the devolution of skills, that is, the differentiated autonomy. Years ago I saw a film, in which the president of the USA announced the arrival of a meteorite. At one point the meteorite began to see in the sky and the authorities responded, “Don’t look up”, “do not look at ari”. We instead look at each other, let’s see the meteorite arrive and if we can move ».
«Today we know the specific criteria of the delegation. Then it was impossible. Now we will present the delegation bill with all these concepts and we can arrange ». So still Minister Calderoli “has been except for the generality of the criteria and executive principles of the delegation. I knew it? Yes – he explained – but the first definition of the LEPs is in this law, and the Constitutional Court accepted it. The problem is that to date has moved in an unknown ground. The Court says that civil and social rights and the minimum level of delivery is defined on the first part of the Constitution. But in the first part of the Constitution there are general principles, that no one has ever gone to define. Instead, we have identified all the rights and essential levels, it is a 370 -page report, more than 230 essential levels ».
“For everything else – the minister said – the sentence is an application car, that is, additive, replaces and censorship certain non -constitutional words with other dictates by the Court itself and which are roughly constitutionally respected. ‘The motivation is missing from the principle of subsidiarity’. But I put it in article 1, in the fundamental principles – he continued – if I put it in article 1 he will apply for all the others ». «Another thing that disturbed me is the chapter on solidarity, as if we had failed to those principles. It’s a discovered nerve but I want to talk about it. The tax residues: in Italy, according to Bankitalia, out of 21 regions and provinces with ordinary statutes there are 6 of them who have a negative sign in front and 15 with the positive sign, spend more than they receive. The sum of the residues gives a negative of 93 billion, a greater entry. Of these 53 go to the benefit of the regions with less tax capacity and the others to the state. So the principle of solidarity is already inherent in the system and nobody has ever said he wants to touch the tax residue. We will continue to be solidarity. I would like a transparent bowl in which you understand who puts money and who takes it. The reforms frightened, but if all we were fine then then one could go on as always, but if there are realities that are not well, then they must be faced in terms of reforms ».
