Even the Constitutional Court rejects historic residentiality

It’s unreasonable deny access to public housing to who, Italian or foreignat the time of the request has not been resident in the territory of the Region for at least five years, even if calculated over the last ten and possibly also accrued in form not continuous. The requirement of prolonged residenceIndeed, prevents the inviolable right to housing from being satisfiedfunctional to ensuring that “each person’s life is reflected every day and in every aspect the universal image of human dignity“.

This is what he decided a few days ago Constitutional Court which deemed the criterion of historic residentiality unconstitutional for the allocation of public housing relative to one regulatory forecast of the Veneto Regionbut valid for all administrations Italian, including therefore the Ferrara one led by mayor Alan Fabbriwhich already in 2021 she had been “condemned” by the civil court of Ferrara to formulate “new criteria and scores” and “adopt more suitable procedures” for the allocation of public housing.

He also spoke on the Council’s decision in the last few hours the lawyer Fabio Anselmomayoral candidate for the centre-left, who focused on the way in which “constitutional judges have established that the task of public construction is to satisfy people’s needs for accommodationresident, is in conditions of greater fragility regardless of the number of years he has resided in the Municipality”.

According to Anselmo, the decision represents “a new denial for the Fabbri administration and for political forces that have erected historic residentiality as their banner propaganda politics: convinced that they can decide in defiance of laws and the Constitution, they moved from amateurs in jeopardy. Instead of looking for funds and ways to build more homes and make public housing the instrument of a broader social policy for families (Italian or foreign) who find themselves in a situation of hardship and need to be accompanied in regaining economic autonomy, they thought they could solve the problem, as always, by starting a conflict, pitting people in a state of need against other people in a state of need.”

“It’s a shame – concludes the challenger of the outgoing mayor – that it isn’t possible to do so, furthermore seriously harmful in terms of safety. And now, Blacksmiths, what do we do? We build new housing and redevelop empty ones or you will try to change the Constitution?“.
