Tanti frammenti di mandato indicano la permanenza al potere? (Nota alla sentenza del tribunale ordinario di Aosta, 22 aprile 2026, n. 110)

The essay deals with the judgment of the Civil Court of Aosta (No. 110 of April 22, 2026), which declared the President of the Region ineligible for office. Specifically, the ruling cites a violation of Article 3, paragraph 3, of Regional Law 21/2007, noting that the incumbent President had «already held office - prior to the current legislative term - in the Regional Executive for more than two consecutive terms». The Author offers a critical analysis regarding the introduction of a ground for ineligibility not provided for at the national level and the expansive interpretation of a provision restricting the fundamental right to stand for election. She hopes that the relevant legislation will be submitted to the judgment of the Constitutional Court in subsequent stages of the proceedings.
