Tackling Differentiated Autonomy in Italy: Schlein Criticizes Salvini’s League for Exacerbating Inequalities

Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party, recently emphasized the need to fight against differentiated autonomy in Italy. In a speech at an electoral event in Aversa, he criticized Salvini’s League for its lack of investment in reducing territorial and social disparities, which could further exacerbate existing inequalities within the country.

Schlein also raised concerns about the impact of differentiated autonomy on public health, particularly for citizens in different regions. He emphasized that the Democratic Party remains committed to opposing this autonomy and preventing dangerous reforms that could result from it.

In response to Prime Minister Meloni’s challenge to list freedoms canceled by her government, Schlein pointed out that the lack of decent wages, dignified jobs, and access to public healthcare could limit individuals’ freedom. He criticized Meloni’s refusal to support measures such as a minimum wage and highlighted the challenges faced by those who cannot afford essential medical treatments.

Prime Minister Meloni has emphasized that the situation regarding the premiership is critical, as it could result in the splitting of Italy. The agreement with Salvini’s League for differentiated autonomy is seen as a self-serving move that could have severe consequences for the country. However, Schlein believes that this autonomy would only exacerbate existing inequalities within Italy and further harm vulnerable individuals.
