The assemblies of three regions
governed by centre-left alliances, Campania, Emilia-Romagna and
Tuscany, are set to examine motions calling for a referendum on
abolishing the central government's law bringing in
'differentiated autonomy'.
The controversial measure approved by parliament last month will
enable regions to request more power over how the tax revenues
collected in their areas are spent
Opposition parties say differentiated autonomy will worsen
Italy's north-south divide, by favouring wealthier regions in
the north.
The 5-Star Movement (M5S,) the centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
and other opposition groups have said they are going to collect
signatures to hold a referendum on abolishing the law.
