The issue of special autonomies as accepted in the written text of the Calderoli bill does not represent a danger for the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano: "We have the ambition to be a reference model, thanks to our special statutes and our history, but also thanks to the responsibility we have been able to take on in so many years of managing Autonomy," stressed the president of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, during the dialogue with the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani and the president of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Arno Kompatscher, which took place this morning in the Depero Room of the palace in Piazza Dante during the Trento Festival of Economics. The meeting was moderated by Barbara Fiammeri, Il Sole 24 Ore journalist and expert on government and legislative issues.
Kompatscher, on the other hand, recalled the long and difficult path that the implementation of South Tyrolean Autonomy has undergone, so much so that the issuing of the discharge by Austria took place 20 years after the approval of the Second Statute, and there have been alternating phases in the recognition of competences. "We view differentiated autonomy favourably: if it is managed well, autonomy does not only benefit the territory concerned, but is in favour of the country system. The more you let us do, the more we can contribute,' the president of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano said again.
