The request to repeal Differentiated Autonomy has been ruled legitimate, but the referendum will require a further step before the Constitutional Court to assess the admissibility of the question. This is the ruling of the judges of the central referendum office, who partially overturned an earlier Constitutional Court decision. The Calderoli law, enacted on June 25, had been declared legitimate by the Constitutional Court, which, however, had found some of its parts unconstitutional, rejecting the overall challenge on the Differentiated Autonomy of Ordinary Regions. However, the Supreme Judges did not give the green light to the referendum question submitted by regional councils for the partial repeal of the rule. In its December 3 ruling, the court stressed that "regionalism responds to a fundamental need of our society, shaped in part by the Constitution". At the same time, it pointed out that "only Parliament can address and regulate the complexity of institutional pluralism". Moreover, the constitutional framework gives Parliament exclusive jurisdiction over certain matters to ensure unitary needs, as indicated by Article 117(2) of the Constitution. The Supreme Court's decision, detailed in a nearly 30-page order, represents a new chapter in the debate on Differentiated Autonomy, highlighting the sensitivity of the issue and the crucial role of parliamentary institutions.
