Autonomy: R. Occhiuto, FI does not vote for agreements between Regions without Lep
“My hope is that Forza Italia will not vote, in the Council of Ministers and in Parliament, on any agreement with individual Regions if the Lep (Essential Levels of Performance, ed.) are not fully funded first and if there is not the mathematical certainty that certain agreements could cause damage to the South”. This is what Roberto Occhiuto, deputy secretary of Forza Italia and governor of Calabria, said regarding the application of the reform of differentiated autonomy and referring to the agreements on both the so-called Lep and non-Lep matters. Occhiuto said this while speaking at the party’s National Council.
