Autonomy: Lombardy ready for agreement also on healthcare

Lombardy accelerates on autonomy. The Region, already after the summer, is ready to sign the first agreements on three no Lep subjects (those that do not require the prior identification of the Essential Levels of Performance), namely civil protection, the professions, and supplementary social security, but above all on health, for which the Lea (Essential Levels of Care) have already been defined. Yesterday the governor Attilio Fontana met the Minister for Autonomies Roberto Calderoli, a positive meeting that confirmed Lombardy's willingness to close the first negotiations.

Autonomy is welcome, whether for the regions or for Rome as capital because 'it is good for everyone'. Yesterday Roberto Calderoli, Minister for Regional Affairs, had already relaunched the reform that will bring special powers to the Eternal City, but in the meantime he had pushed the measure that has been the symbol of decades of Carroccio history, the one on differentiated autonomy. In September, he had announced, the first agreements with the Regions that had already begun negotiations with Palazzo Chigi.

The 'Roman question', after all, has never been out of the news. On the table of the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies there have been several bills on the table for months, including that of the Dem Roberto Morassut - one of the fathers of the reform from unsuspected times - and that of the FI group leader Paolo Barelli. And then there is a government bill on which, as was leaked yesterday from Palazzo Chigi, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is working directly together with the Minister for Reforms Elisabetta Casellati and precisely Calderoli. The bill should reach the Council of Ministers by the summer break. An acceleration therefore of which the Capitol is not unaware, which last April had asked for a 'desirable confrontation' before presenting the text.
