Differentiated autonomy, De Luca: “The North will not be saved. And from the South we will no longer export workers but only a bit of Camorra and Mafia”

“In these two years have you seen a decentralization of powers towards the territories? No, we have seen the Brothers of Italy Thatto the detriment of the League and Forza Italia, they are concentrating everything in the room of the Honorable Meloni and some of her southern students”. Thus, intervening on the reform of differentiated autonomy at the Festa dell’Unità in Mantua, the president of the De Luca Region Vincenzo De Luca strikes a new blow with his foil to Georgia Meloni it’s at Raffaele Fittoaddressing the audience at the event and adding ironically: “Don’t make me talk, I’m in a Zen phase, I’ve reached peace of mind and Nirvana. Now you’ll see me leave here like a Samaritan. Maybe let me eat something though”.

The politician from Campania dismantles point by point the reform desired by the League: “They have already reached each other 500 thousand signatures. I believe that in this avalanche of citizens who went to sign a double feeling is being expressed. One is the beginning of a serious political criticism of the national government, because Beyond the propaganda, not a leaf is moving herethis is the reality. In addition – he explains – I believe that this reform is coming too late. Ten years ago there was a different climate, the flag of autonomy was the flag of the North and of rigor against Southern clientelism. Today I believe that the thing has completely deflated, I don’t see any push”.

And he underlines: “A truth operation must be carried outbecause when they try to propose in a somewhat vulgar differentiated autonomy, they do it starting from this story: we have to free ourselves from an area of ​​the country, the Noonin which political patronage, inefficiency, parasitism, waste of public money, and inability to govern dominate. I am the main enemy of the South of degenerations, complaints and inconclusiveness. I am ready – he continues – to accept the challenge of efficiency towards anyone and to sit down at a table to correct first of all this story of the South. So let’s start by doing an operation of truth, the government of Campania has been a model of Spartan rigor”.

De Luca accuses the Meloni government of deceiving citizens: “But how can you propose a law whose premise states that differentiated autonomy and the definition of Lep must occur without additional costs to the state budget? But who are we trying to kid? There is not a single euro here, but autonomy of what? They are making fun of Italy. They tell us that they have put 3 billion euros more for the Regions in healthcare. Those 3 billion are used, more or less, to pay the contractual increases, but they do not allow us to recover the cost increases that we had for the energy boom because today hospitals cost more”.

And he adds: “There is an ideal problem for those who have a sense of homeland and national spirit when we talk about unity of Italy. But I would like to say that there is also a economic interest of the North to keep the South hooked to development processes. With differentiated autonomy the North cannot be savedbecause if the South becomes an area of ​​total degradation, we will continue to have an emigration of young people. We have lost a million and a half young people in 15 years – he concludes – And we will no longer export manpower to you, as in the 50s and 60s.because today young graduates go abroad. What we will be able to export will be a bit of Camorra and Mafia. This is: it is not that the North will be saved. In the end the degradation will arrive here”.
