The debate on the third mandate: the positions of the special autonomies

The issue of the third mandate continues to raise questions and tensions within the Italian political landscape. Recently, the president of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, expressed his concerns about the possible challenge of the law on the third mandate by the government. During the Festival delle Regioni in Venice, Fugatti underlined how this decision could have significant repercussions on the special autonomies, in particular in light of the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court on Campania.

Maurizio Fugatti's statements

Fugatti said that if the government decided to challenge the law, it would be a political choice. “If Parliament wanted to intervene, it could do so, but it would be a political issue,” he said. His position is clear: the Campania ruling was not well received and could set a precedent for future government decisions. Fugatti stressed that, although the government has the power to challenge laws of special autonomies, it would be a mistake to follow a path already outlined in the past.

The implications for special autonomies

Special autonomies, such as that of Trentino, play a crucial role in the Italian political landscape. Their ability to self-manage and legislate on local issues is essential to ensure a balance between the different regions of the country. A possible challenge to the law on the third mandate could undermine this autonomy and create a precedent for future government interference. Fugatti expressed hope that the government will not follow this path, stressing the importance of respecting the peculiarities of special autonomies.

Conclusions and future perspectives

The debate on the third mandate and special autonomies is set to continue, with Fugatti's positions reflecting a concern shared by many regional leaders. The issue is not only legal, but also deeply political, and requires a careful balance between the needs of the central government and the demands of the autonomies. The hope expressed by Fugatti is that an agreement can be found that respects the special autonomies and guarantees a stable future for all Italian regions.
