I Dpcm, the decrees of the Prime Minister with which the Conte II government dictated the measures anti-Covid “They have not conferred on the President of the Council of Ministers a legislative function in violation of art. 76 and 77 of the Constitution, nor extraordinary powers from a state of war in violation of art. 78 of the Constitution ”, but only“ the task of giving execution to the primary norm ”contained in a precedent decree-law.

In this way, he argued, it was “bypassed the cardinal principle referred to in Articles 76 and 77 of the Constitution, for which the legislative function is entrusted to Parliament, which can delegate it only with a law-delegation and in any case never to administrative acts “.
