FdI Moves to Reopen 2003 Building Amnesty in Budget Bill as Campania Vote Looms

Only a fraction of the nearly 5,800 budget amendments will be prioritized this week, leaving the measure’s fate unclear.

Overview

  • The amendment, filed by FdI senators Matteo Gelmetti and Domenico Matera, would reopen the 2003 sanatoria to regularize works lacking permits if they matched planning rules as of 31 March 2003 and were outside protected or high‑risk areas.
  • Government officials on Via della Scrofa said it is a reopening of deadlines under an existing framework rather than a new blanket condono.
  • Opposition figures including Giuseppe Conte and Matteo Renzi denounced the timing as electioneering ahead of the Campania regional contest, calling it a bid for votes.
  • Forza Italia leader Antonio Tajani urged a case‑by‑case approach, signaling caution within the governing majority over a broad reopening.
  • Roughly 5,742 amendments were filed to the 2026 budget and only about 414 “segnalati” will advance in the Senate Budget Commission by 18 November, and FdI’s Edmondo Cirielli said Campania would quickly implement the measure if he wins the region.
