Green light from the Regional Council (with 34 yes, 20 no and two abstentions ) to the law which completes the reform which brings the provinces to six (Gallura, Nuoro, Ogliastra, Sulcis-Iglesiente, Medio Campidano and Oristano) and the metropolitan cities to two ( Cagliari and Sassari) .

The provision contains provisions which, in view of the second level elections to be called by 30 April 2025 , on the one hand, regulate the preparatory procedures to guarantee the future succession of the new large area bodies to the pre-existing ones, with the provision of the appointment of new extraordinary commissioners, on the other hand, ensure the presence of an extraordinary administrator in each of the new territorial districts outlined by the 2021 reform.

There is controversy in the chamber, and the opposition attacks, with Fausto Piga (FdI) , recalling that the provision provides for eleven new appointments: 8 of extraordinary administrators for the new bodies as identified in the 2021 reform (i.e. for the provinces of Nuoro, Oristano, Gallura, Ogliastra, Sulcis Iglesiente, Medio Campidano, Metropolitan City of Sassari and Metropolitan City of Cagliari), and three extraordinary commissioners for the old Provinces of Nuoro, Sassari and Southern Sardinia. "We are interested in giving democracy a new lease of life so as to no longer have unsafe schools and dangerous streets" , declared the majority speaker Salvatore Corrias (Pd) .

For the minority speaker Paolo Truzzu (FdI) " the only effect of this law is to replace the current administrators with other subjects , increasing the number and not the way to guarantee the rights of our communities".

Now the House is called to examine the four motions on differentiated autonomy . The first two of the majority for the request for a referendum on the Calderoli law : the first containing the question for total repeal, the second for partial repeal.
