President Meloni’s statement on regional autonomy draft framework law

2 February 2023

With the approval of the draft framework law on regional autonomy, our aim is to build a more united, stronger and more cohesive Italy. The Government is beginning a process to overcome the divides that currently exist between Italy’s different areas and to ensure all citizens throughout the country have the same rights and the same service levels. Establishing essential service levels, which over these years have never been defined, guarantees cohesion and unity. This measure applies the principle of subsidiarity, giving the regions that ask for it a two-fold opportunity: to directly manage matters and resources and to provide citizens with more efficient and less costly services.
