And we're at thirteen: two other laws approved by the Regional Council during the Todde era have been challenged by the government before the Constitutional Court.

The Council of Ministers' decision was reached at the suggestion of the Minister for Regional Affairs and Local Authorities, Roberto Calderoli, at the end of the last session, which examined eight regional measures. Specifically, the objections concern Regional Law 1 of February 6, 2026, the so-called "Regional Stability Law 2026," and Regional Law 4 of the same day, which addresses the management and development of tourist railways and the regulation of the "Historic Green Train of Sardinia" Foundation.

According to the press release from Palazzo Chigi, some provisions of both laws would have exceeded the Region's statutory powers and would be in conflict with state legislation.

Regarding the regional stability law, the government specifically contests certain aspects related to health protection, which it believes may violate Articles 32 and 117, third paragraph, of the Constitution.

Regarding one of the points included in the measure, regarding provisional authorizations for community centers, the regional Budget Department states that the decision is tied to the deadlines of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), which is why the department decided to include it.

The dispute over the "Little Green Train" law is more complex. In this case, the crux of the matter is civil law: some provisions are deemed inconsistent with Article 117, paragraph 2, letter l, of the Constitution, which reserves exclusive jurisdiction over this matter to the State. The Region is now awaiting action to avoid the Constitutional Court's axe.
