Autonomy reform, the halt of the Senate: all the economic and social risks
Hard blow for the League and Minister Calderoli. The draft law on Autonomy presents some critical points. First of all, there would be a risk of economic disparities between regions. This is what we learn from a document drawn up by the Senate Budget Service, a summary of which has been published on Linkedin.
After having «sifted through» the measure the document warns: «In the case, for example, of the transfer to the regions of a substantial number of functions currently performed by the State (and of the related human, instrumental and financial resources), there would be a strong growth of the regional budget and a of the state one, col risk of failing to maintain the essential levels of services in the non-differentiated regions”.

The most affected would be the poorest regions, those “with low levels of revenue taxes accrued in their own territory, they could have greater difficulty in financing, and therefore in acquiring, the additional functions».
The transfer of new functions administrative to municipalitiesprovinces and metropolitan cities by the differentiated regions could “make the achievement of economies of scale fail, due to the presence of indivisible fixed costs linked to the provision of services, the incidence of which increases as the population decreases”.
