The CGIL Molise, together with the associations of the Via Maestra and the “NO DIFFERENTIATED AUTONOMY” territorial committees, has expressed strong opposition to the Differentiated Autonomy approved by Parliament. The General Secretary of the CGIL Molise, Paolo De Socio, criticized the parliamentary process that led to the law, calling it “one of the worst legislative representations”. De Socio highlighted how Differentiated Autonomy will increase the gaps between Italian territories and concentrate decision-making power in the hands of a few, compromising the democratic dialectic.
The CGIL Molise also underlined the irony of the situation in Molise, where the rapporteur of the bill is a senator from Molise, and criticized local representatives for aligning themselves with party choices instead of defending the interests of the territory. De Socio launched an appeal to all citizens, regardless of their political ideas, to inform themselves and unite in the defense of the country’s constitutional values and civil coexistence.
The appeal: “We prefer constitutional chains to the undefined institutional chains and in this direction we also ask groups that define themselves as progressive to take clear positions in conducting this popular struggle. We ask these same progressive alliances – especially when governing – to keep in mind that the fruit of their contextual choices always risks ending up in improvident hands even when historical periods alternate that presuppose reformist phases. We ask all workers, male and female pensioners, male and female students, male and female citizens, even with different political ideas, to inform themselves and choose.
Choosing, as Italy has been able to do in many phases of its history, to form a social bloc that maintains the values of our Constitution and that knows how to adequately counter these reform ideas that worsen the institutional structures and the civil and solidarity coexistence of the our country”.
