The possibilities of independence increase with the bill n° 116/2016

Some commentators have argued that with the approval of bill no 116 /2016 in the Veneto region the chances of independence of the Venetian people are decreasing, or even prevent it altogether: this is completely baseless, so much so that it is not explained why this effect would exist. E’ however, the opposite is true and below I explain why the concrete and substantial future possibilities increase by a lot.

Meanwhile, it is necessary to know that the draft Regional Law Veneto PDL 116/2016 For the first time it makes itself known to the Italian Republic that there is a Venetian nation, albeit recognizing that it is not the main nation but a numerically minor nation in the Italian republic (obvious fact).

I used the expression “Italian republic” and not the region, Why, in technical terms, the region will speak in the name of the entire republic by exploiting the’ assignment of residual powers that the current constitution attributes to the regions the “subjects not listed”. The bill makes the Veneto region recognize the existence of the Venetian nation, but since the region is the only body that can do it in the Italian republic, it will do it for the entire republic. And since the Venetians are recognized as having the rights they deserve under the international treaty signed by the republic on national minorities, the central government will not be able to cancel this recognition even with the new constitution. Please note that these rights will only be available to Venetians who declare themselves as such, because a nationality different from the one he chooses cannot be imposed on a resident, and this also applies in a possible independence referendum.

If the region approves the PDL 116/2016 (and officially there are all the political numbers to do so),it will speak on behalf and on behalf of the entire Republic, therefore speaking on behalf of the central parliament , because this is what is provided for by the current constitution in art.117 c4. The region will make an act of international law that falls within its competences, which however it can do now while it will no longer be able to with the new Renzi-Boschi constitution, because the new items 116 E 117 they will simply sweep away all regional autonomy by crushing the regions under three new criteria of state supremacy which will be used to expropriate the regions of approximately 350 billions of euros they have in cash. This was stated by a leading technical advisor to the central government.

If the Veneto region approves the PDL 116/2016 she will do the most she is allowed in terms of self-determination, perfectly in line with the constitution, the statute and international law, but it is obviously not a self-determination of peoples because it is a right of peoples, the region is only a peripheral body of the Italian state which will soon count for very little. The same budget, Zaia said, passed by 500 million to 50 within a few years.

In any case, the self-determination of peoples and therefore the possibility of independence of the Venetian people do not pass through the region, it is necessary to know that according to the Court of Cassation the “people Venetian” does not exist and the expression of the statute must be considered with the meaning of “residents” in the region, the Court of Cassation defined the Venetian people as devoid of ethnic characteristics (sent. of the 2011), while for the Constitutional Court the Veneto Region does not represent any Venetian people like the other regions, because it lacks an autonomous international personality (it is not a state for the sentences of 2007 he was born in 2015). Therefore, any hypothesis of self-determination of the region as a representative of the Venetian people is legally impossible, especially since it is evident that a part of the Venetian population is found in the region “Friuli Venezia Giulia” and this part of the Venetian people cannot be excluded from a possible international referendum, it would be illegal. If you want a referendum you need to do the one 1866, which we managed to have declared invalid in 2008.

This being the case, today and even more so in the future, the possibilities of self-determination in the Veneto region are nil, while today it is given to the Venetian people, thanks to the draft law n°116/2016, the possibility of being recognized as a nation (something that even the Catalans failed to achieve), and thus access many rights denied today, and thus develop over time the cultural and effective self-government conditions that are indispensable for any future self-determination. For example, consider the right to have a trial in the Venetian language, you can have it with the PDL 116/2016 immediately, for example from October, with the consequence of nullifying any process that did not respect this right.

In other words, The PDL 116/2016, even if it does not serve to achieve independence directly, it serves to give back to the Venetians their identity, Culture, language and government capacity today completely absent, as demonstrated by the expropriation of the banks, and by the fact that bill no. is being attacked 116 which for the first time recognizes something effective and concrete in the Venetians.

Someone actually thinks that today the Venetians would be ready for independence? Truly, some people think that the Veneto region will ever be able to “autodeterminarsi” with the new constitution which effectively erases the regions by crushing them with three devastating criteria of sovereignty of the central state ?

So be careful not to fall into the trap of those who don't want the value of the Veneto PDL to be understood 116/2016 , Failure to approve it would be an incredible damage to the Venetians. In my opinion, going against it serves to serve the interests of some politician or the central state, but it is certainly harmful to the Venetians.

in conclusion , independence will always be possible in the same terms as now, but with the approval of the PDL 116/2016 in the future the people will be educated and cultured, aware, he will not be fooled by four improvised and counterfeiters who cannot even say whether Venetians are residents of the VENETO region or whether those who speak Veneto and live in the Friuli-VENEZIA region are also Venetians- Giulia.

Yet the answer is easy: the first Doge was made in Grado, which, not surprisingly, has always been part of the Venice and Istria .
