Campania Governor Vincenzo De
Luca on FRiday wrote to Premier Giuseppe Conte to request
autonomy for the southern region after applications from the
northern regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna.
"We asked to be linked to the discussion regarding Veneto,
Lombardy and Emilia a month ago," he said.
"We did not receive a reply and today we will formalise the
request for differentiated autonomy for Campania too according
to our line: defence of national unity, parity of conditions for
all Italian citizens, levels of services equal for all and
penalties and rewards for all those administrators who show they
are or are not able to administrate in a correct way".
Critics say the request by the three northern regions could
sound the death knell for national solidarity as well as
creating second-class citizens.
