What is happening
According to sources from Palazzo Chigi, the law violates state competences and does not guarantee an effective course of palliative care. Emilia-Romagna Governor Michele de Pascale said the government was seeking an institutional confrontation and called the move an offence to the region’s professionals.
Why is it on the Radar?
The case concerns the division of powers between the national government and Emilia-Romagna, as well as the organisation of palliative-care procedures under the regional law.
