Referendum on autonomy inadmissible by the Constitutional Court

ROME (ITALPRESS) – The Constitutional Court has ruled in chambers on the admissibility of the request for a repeal referendum called “Law No. 86 of June 26, 2024, Dispositions for the implementation of the differentiated autonomy of ordinary statute regions under Article 116, third paragraph, of the Constitution: total repeal.”
Pending the filing of the ruling, the Office of Communication and Press reports that the Court found the referendum question on Law No. 86 of 2024, as resulting from its ruling No. 192 of 2024, to be inadmissible. The Court found that the object and purpose of the question is unclear. This undermines the possibility of an informed choice by the voter. The referendum would come to have a scope that alters its function, resolving itself into a choice on differentiated autonomy, as such, and ultimately on Article 116, third paragraph, of the Constitution; which cannot be the subject of a repeal referendum, but only possibly of a constitutional revision. The ruling will be filed in the coming days.
