Regional Affairs Undersecretary
Gianclaudio Bressa said Tuesday that Veneto Governor Luca Zaia's
call for the northern region to be granted special statute
status is unacceptable.
"It's a proposal that goes against the unity and
inseparability of the country," Bressa told Radio Anch'io.
"It is not a Catalan proposal, but a proposal that the
Constitutional Court has rejected and Zaia knows it".
Zaia made the proposal after the yes vote won referenda in
Veneto and Lombardy at the weekend on whether the wealthy
regions should have greater autonomy.
