The essay analyzes the way in which Italian Government used substitution power under art. 120, par. 2 of Constitution in order to introduce the provision of double gender preference in regional legislation of Puglia before the local elections of 20th-21st September 2020. The Region in fact had not incorporated this mechanism in its electoral act, though the State, with law n. 20/2016, imposed it as a binding rule for Italian Regions, in order to implement constitutional principle of gender equality in political representation. This application of art. 120, par. 2 of Italian Constitution raises many questions. The first problem is to clarify whether the Government could exercise substitution power even in respect of regional legislative autonomy. Then it must be analyzed if the use of Government power has been correct under art. 120, par. 2 and art. 77 of Italian Constitution.

Abstract

The essay analyzes the way in which Italian Government used substitution power under art. 120, par. 2 of Constitution in order to introduce the provision of double gender preference in regional legislation of Puglia before the local elections of 20th-21st September 2020. The Region in fact had not incorporated this mechanism in its electoral act, though the State, with law n. 20/2016, imposed it as a binding rule for Italian Regions, in order to implement constitutional principle of gender equality in political representation. This application of art. 120, par. 2 of Italian Constitution raises many questions. The first problem is to clarify whether the Government could exercise substitution power even in respect of regional legislative autonomy. Then it must be analyzed if the use of Government power has been correct under art. 120, par. 2 and art. 77 of Italian Constitution.
