More than a year after the origin of the health crisis and the consequent declaration of national emergency, after the most acute phase of the fight against this “invisible enemy”, it is possible to try to take stock of how our source system has reacted to an objectively sudden and unpredictable upheaval. If without doubt the constitutional order, despite some avoidable stress tests to which it has been subjected, has, at least formally, held up, the question that needs to be asked appears rather another one. Has the “alternative” governance, based on the unusual binomial d.l./d.P.C.M. and greatly diverged from the Civil Protection Code, really proved to be the most appropriate and efficient solution, or, on closer inspection, has it ended up generating more problems than it has solved?
