“The reality is that we do not know exactly what autonomy really means,” warns Benjamin Morel, political scientist

“The reality is that we don’t know exactly what autonomy really means.“, warns Benjamin Morel, political scientist and lecturer at Paris II University, on the set of 19/20 info, Thursday September 28. “There is form and content. In terms of form, we have a speech, all the same, which takes up all the signifiers of the nationalist speech, for example, we talk about the assassination of Yvan Colonna, on the other hand, we do not talk about the assassination of prefect Erignac“, he continued.

“It’s a portmanteau word, a slogan”

“Basically, it mentions things, but we will have to see the content. The notion of autonomy is a portmanteau, it’s a slogan, it’s not really a legal reality“, affirms Benjamin Morel. “Does autonomy mean legislative autonomy (…) or is it simply a capacity to be able to make regulatory provisions within frameworks provided by Parliament?“, asks Benjamin Morel, who believes that the “implementation behind risks posing certain problems“.
