Totally different independence, it is too early to retire – the manifesto

After a distinct self-governance settlement we’re in a center floor. Calderoli’s regulation has established a process to attain the autonomy of supplies to the Departments that request them. The highway is evident, the contracts are nonetheless there to finish the work.

Thus an irrevocable historic objective is reached. It’ll now not be as much as the State to guard elementary rights all through the nationwide nation, however to the person Provinces on the idea of negotiations which can be outlined individually by the federal government. It will likely be the top of nationwide solidarity and any concept of ​​a unitary nation. A end result additionally shielded from second ideas: the agreements, which will likely be outlined by the federal government in workplace and the present minister for autonomy, will likely be authorized by a silent parliament with an absolute majority and won’t they will even be managed. to deliver again a referendum. In pressure for eternity, regardless of hypocritical predictions for ten years of the agreements (after which what occurs if there isn’t a consensus from the withdrawal division?). All the things is now prepared to vary the face of the Republic.

What will be carried out to forestall this named end result? One thing can nonetheless be tried, however one should act instantly and pay attention to the virtues and limitations inside which one can work. These are steps which have been mentioned a number of occasions by this newspaper, however they’re price remembering.

Self-will because the measure of all issues

THE FIRST WORD it’s as much as the Departments. They’ll deliver the brand new voting regulation to the Council. It’s sufficient for the area to train the correct that Article 127 of the Structure offers it. This text confirms that the Departments can increase a query of validity for violations of their space of ​​competence inside 60 days from the publication of a regulation. Up to now now we have heard many presidents, particularly from the southern areas, some even from the correct, denying the risks that the acceptance of the agreements would deliver to the soundness of the nation. Now they’ve the chance to precise their causes earlier than the Council.

It might appear to me that there was a necessity for a examine on this level and even respecting the obligations of the State and the Areas. Nonetheless, it could be a nasty signal if there have been no such appeals. As a result of it could present that the representatives of the establishment can’t reply by permitting political calculations or (within the case of the sectors presently ruled by the correct) the loyalty of the bulk to be concerned. An indication of how regional autonomy has labored in depth.

The editorial group recommends:

The rights of the residents should not the rights of the territories

It isn’t attainable to say what the result of the attraction will likely be, what the Council’s determination will likely be. For now it’s a query of figuring out all the explanations that might show violations of constitutional articles and rules ranging from equality and the concept of ‘ violation of elementary rights in numerous components of the nationwide territory​​​​. Then the phrase goes to the Court docket.

The second manner that may be accepted is the request to withdraw the regulation that has simply been authorized by referendum. It isn’t one other path than the primary one, if something complementary. It doesn’t concern the constitutional illegality of Calderoli’s regulation, however political benefit. It may be applied by 500 thousand voters or by 5 regional councils. Additionally on this case it could be physiological that such a controversial regulation in opposition to giant sections of public opinion would deliver that instrument of participation that the Structure gives: the referendum.

I see that each one the opposition, lastly united, say that they wish to take this path. Effectively, a strong reply. What’s the scandal if those that don’t like a regulation are so necessary to deliver it to common judgment? Even on this case it may be stated: if not on this case, when?

The No entrance is a assure of an alternate

Nonetheless, it have to be clear that it is usually a tough problem, not with out obstacles, so it’s essential to determine and know the reality.

It’s the “factual and authorized” situations that make the problem very sophisticated. To begin with, the principles in pressure relating to referendums set very quick deadlines (signatures have to be collected or requests authorized by the Departments earlier than the top of September). Secondly, the referendum request can’t be accepted as admissible, on account of earlier constitutional jurisprudence which could be very controversial and never defined in any respect. Thirdly, the dissatisfaction with politics (the final elections had been very evident) makes a legitimacy quorum – the participation of at the very least half of these entitled to vote – very tough to attain, with out com- common half.

After all, at this level there aren’t many different methods to go. Due to this fact, it’s price attempting to climb the mountain. Ultimately, it’s a journey made in levels and, even when we don’t attain the highest, the journey, if taken critically, could change into virtuous, he may nonetheless get out of the cellar wherein the progress was. forces appear to have locked themselves, starting to make themselves felt. Let me clarify. Who can deny that the gathering of greater than half 1,000,000 signatures in opposition to the completely different independence venture in August wouldn’t be an indication of the vitality and concord of progressive forces with the nation? And this in itself, in these occasions, could be a end result.

YES TRUE that relevance can’t be taken with no consideration, however it is usually true that the doubts raised are primarily based on fully questionable jurisprudence and on very fragile arguments. We are going to discuss it one other time, however it is vitally uncertain {that a} referendum might be prevented on the idea of the 2 arguments which can be normally put ahead: each the hyperlink to the price range, which is merely formal in opposition to confirmed monetary deficiency; in addition to the binding character which is taken into account to be in procedural regulation solely in opposition to a constitutional provision which doesn’t “imply”, however merely “permits” the appliance of different types of independence. In any case, it is a recreation price taking part in. Then the ultimate phrase will likely be as much as the Court docket, however every has its personal position.

Lastly, with the problem of the quorum, many realists don’t dare to assume that they will break the wall of steady absence that within the case of the referendum could be added to the which precipitated one other absence. That might be the largest problem. You’ll be able to lose, however in the event you do not struggle you are already misplaced.

A ultimate reply to those that say that the federal government may at the very least proceed with agreements even after the repeal of Calderoli’s regulation. Sure, that is so, however it’s a reversible argument and doesn’t contemplate the “symbolic added worth” of appeals to the folks. The historical past of referendums teaches us.
