The Lombardy region declares itself autonomous, but the Constitutional Court runs counter.
Perhaps someone remembers when Formigoni, just installed in this last term as president of the Lombardy Region, He swore loyalty to the Lombard people.
For some it was just a propaganda move in a region with a high League content.
Yet it could also have been a subversive move by the legal system given that a representative of a piece of the state, that is, of a region, he swore loyalty to an unrecognized people, in violation of the establishment of the State.
However nobody worried about it, Not even the judiciary.
But then there was the attempt in the regional council to recognize the "Lombard people" in the new statute and also his "national" party on 7 of April, because that day in the 1167 The Lombard League against the Emperor was founded in Pontida.
Now this statute is published, But nothing remained of the subversive or secessionist charge, it was only for the elections. All disappeared regarding the Lombard people, The party is not even defined.
E’ only the fact that in the new statute the Lombardy Region has been proclaimed autonomous in the new statute, putting the article 1 this text : "Lombardy is the autonomous region of the Italian Republic in harmony with the Constitution and according to principles of the Statute".
The Northern League have shocked themselves with happiness, Not knowing that the Constitutional Court has already rejected a more reckless attempt made by the Sardinia Region, and confindaning it in pure institutional fantasy. Let's see why.
But let me notice that if, This is absurd, The article 1 of the Lombard statute was validated and this car proclamation had legal value (Obviously if and when it is not appealed by the government), Then one would be in the serious embarrassment of explaining why The Venetian Region is already autonomous since 1971 And nobody noticed it; in fact the article 1 of the Statute of the Venetian Region, I repeat, of the 1971 says “Article 1 Veneto is the autonomous region, in the unification of the Italian Republic ", namely , just to not change, The Lombards copied from the Venetians .
Here we have a problem, for the center right, Because either the new Statute of Lombardy is a pure example of demagogy made (from the center right) as it is useless, or from 15 years the center right rules an autonomous region, The region Veneto, And he never exercised or even made the glimmer of autonomy.
Instead I believe it is simple institutional fantasy. I have repeatedly expressed the fact that the so -called "governors" are alone, legally, of the puppets of a central state that only serve to make theater to hide the non -existence of effective regionalism. But maybe it happened that puppets, undergoing the power of power, they believed in staging, and believed to be actually small principles of micro states . but is not so.
I have been arguing for years and years that the regions are only peripheral pieces of the state, and they do not represent any people. So, I argue that the Veneto Region does not represent the Venetians, But only the Italian residents of the Region, and in fact it is elected by them. And then what about the Venetians of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and in Lombardy Venetian ? Do not count?
The fact is that only the Venetian people, by means of their own institutions, has the right to appoint its representatives, with their own rules, and make their own state independently of the order of the Italian State, because as a sovereign people have the right.
Unfortunately I struggled to explain these concepts, often without results. Finally these obviousness have been recognized by the Constitutional Court, who ruled that the Sardinian Region cannot represent the Sardinian people and exercise the prerogatives of the Sardinian people, as the Region is only a peripheral and instrumental body of the State and is an integral part of it within the limits of the Constitution.
Let alone if the Sardinia region may be sovereignty alone.
never mind, I add, If the Lombardy Region can be autonomy alone by previding the Constitution.
To retrace the story, in 2006 The region of Sardinia, with its own regional law, had established a constituent assembly of the Sardinian people to exercise the sovereignty of the Sardinian people and make a new statute. The thing was ambiguous and could open up to the creation of a new state. However the Sardinian people were already recognized by the statute of 1946, pre-report.
Strong of this sovereignty of the Sardinian people, The regional council thought of representing it and making a constituent, Except then make a statute without the same Consulta Consultation first created.
But to remove all hope from the "region", The Constitutional Court intervened, called to decide from an appeal of the government of Rome.
And the Constitutional Court has sanctioned, exactly, that the regions are autonomous only in the "space left by the republican system to the choices of the different regions".
The Court also reiterated that even in the recent changes of the Constitution and in the law of 2001 For the renovation of the statutes not "an innovation can be identified that fully equivalent to each other the various institutional subjects that all also make up the republican system" and has reaffirmed the "basic legal condition of the state, of the regions and territorial bodies ", even recalling a sentence of 2003.
This sentence is from December 2007; but yet, deaf to everything, The Lombardy Region also wanted to make this useless statute that naived false hopes. Many independence sites also believed in it.
But then, If it is clear that the Lombardy Region will not get anything with the new statute, because they did it?
Anyway, From the constitutional sentence also derives some corollaries which are very important .
For example, the political projects of change from within the institutions are completely founded, via internal referendum. For example, I refer to those projects of parties and political parties who think they take the region and then make a referendum that leads to independence: It is something that was obviously impossible and that is now even sanctioned as unconstitutional by the judgment of the Constitutional Court.
There are even those who think they do the same thing from within a simple municipality.
But no, Because in fact a sentenza of the Court would be enough to reject the excess of power or the "exorbitant" from the functions to reject any action undertaken by the Region or the Municipality on the basis of the referendum. Because they are state entities, and they do not represent any people.
in conclusion, the statutes, regional or municipal, which invoke functions not delegated by the state, they are simply disabled and unconstitutional. Fine. Needless to think of overcoming this obstacle.
Mind you, Maybe the referendum could also be done, except to vote for all residents and not belonging to the people such as the Venetians or the Sardinians. But then you could not do anything with the referendum result, If not to invoke other votes to the elections against the bad state, without ever changing anything. Insoma a game for the armchairs without ever being able to get to the result. demagogy.
but, The Constitutional Court was careful not to deny the right of the Sardinian or Veneto people to their own state, and could not say it because it would be against international laws, ending up herself in the international court.
in conclusion, Peoples such as Veneto and Sardinian, If they want independence, they must reach it by thinking and exercising their actual self -government as started by us Veneti in 1999.
And in fact only representatives in self -government of peoples can legally represent their independence and claim it. Certainly not the directors of the regions called "governors" or their board of directors called "regional council". If anything, the regions belong to the obligation, on behalf of the State, to recognize these self -ters.
And then, since Lombardy was not called to vote for the plebiscite of the 1866, No Italian body can decide for the Lombards as well as for the Venetians, And in any case nothing will ever give the Lombard people the right to annex the Venetian territories of Bergamo, Brescia and Crema.
How many years wasted by the Venetians in order not to understand that the self -government of the Veneto people is the only way.
How many years wasted by the Directors thinking about the secession from the inside.
We hope not to discover that we have wasted even many years of autonomy for the inherent of some governorone.
