"I'm not afraid of a state that recognizes autonomy, I'm more concerned about a state, like the current one, which has compressed the autonomy of the regions, even those that already have it". Words of the president of the Region Christian Solinas, pronounced on the sidelines of the inauguration of two new magnetic resonances at the Brotzu hospital in Cagliari .

Differentiated autonomy. The governor thus took up the theme of differentiated autonomy relaunched in recent days by the Northern League governor from Veneto, Luca Zaia.

The constitutional dispute between Regions and State, added Solinas, “has literally exploded in recent years because there is a resurgence of centralism that tends to regain spaces of freedom that the Regions with special statutes had consolidated over the years. We need to think about new powers and spaces of freedom for the Regions ”.

Insularity. The principle of insularity also has “a basic philosophy which is to restore a competitive gap to those who like us suffer permanent structural disadvantages, putting us back in step with the others: no privileges and no gifts”.

Stop closed number. The visit to the Brotzu was also an opportunity to ask for "a moratorium, an extension of the limited or programmed number, if you prefer" regarding enrollments in the Faculty of Medicine.

“We are the first region in Italy to have significantly increased the strength for university doctorates”, he continued, but “on the shortage of general practitioners, which is a general problem in various Italian regions, a set of initiatives is needed. We should probably also think about who has the will to stay a few more years to serve and who has the will and the possibility to take a few more patients ".
