The Salva-Casa law "translated" for Sardinia and the "Framework Law for the Transport of Persons by Non-Scheduled Public Bus Services" : these are two laws approved by the Regional Council that were challenged this evening by the national government before the Constitutional Court.

The first dates back to June 17th, the other had been approved the previous day.

For now, the terms of the new legal dispute between the State and the Region are entrusted to a press release from Palazzo Chigi issued at the end of the Council of Ministers meeting. But the clash with Rome had already been brewing during the bill's discussion: the Region, by decision of the Guinta, led by Alessandra Todde, had not implemented the provisions of the national law created at the instigation of Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini , which concerned the habitability of studio apartments, which had been raised nationwide to a minimum of 20 square meters (in Sardinia, the minimum had remained at 28). Furthermore, regarding minimum heights for homes, in Sardinia, the decision was made to set a height of 2.40 meters for buildings constructed up to May 24, 2024, and 2.70 meters for those under construction in the near future, while the minimum height remains 2.40 meters in the national law.

Salvini had warned: overturning our law is wrong. The regional councilor for local government, Francesco Spanedda, had replied: "We have a well-reasoned law; in 20 square meters, there's not even a garage." And so, yet another clash before the Constitutional Court.

This is where the other law, approved around the same time, also ends: regarding the rule on non-scheduled public transport, according to the Council of Ministers, "certain provisions, exceeding their statutory powers and conflicting with state legislation on the protection of competition, violate Article 117, paragraph 2, letter e), of the Constitution."
