saved Provinces: here is the real story – Monti must resign
The Constitutional Court recognized that the attempted cancellation of the Provinces by the Monti Government was in violation of Article 133 of the Constitution and more (Hence the AGI news).
art. 133 saith “The change of provincial districts and the establishment of new Provinces within a Region are established by the laws of the Republic, at the initiative of Commons, consultation with the Region.”
In short words, to cancel or modify the provinces it is necessary before the municipalities take the initiative, then the region has its say without being able to oppose, and then you have to make an Act of Parliament.
Monti instead pretended to make a clean sweep of the provinces, excluding the municipalities of their rights in violation of the Constitution.
Rather, Monti has not even raised the problem of involving the citizens of the provinces themselves, going well in violation of international treaty on self-government of local authorities.
And finally Monti and his government have tried to do this scarring Constitutional well with a law, tool that, as it recognized by the Constitutional Court on several occasions, certainly it cannot be used for the reforms of constitutional bodies but only for serious emergencies .
It will be remembered that Monti, ascended to the government without elections, was applauded by all as the “salvatore”, and in this his attempt to “rescue” It was also wanted by Napolitano.
In reality there is a secret and hidden story of how the cancellation of the provinces was prevented
We won the first battle to save the provinces, even if they are trying again, but even this attempt is illegal. (adding 2017: the new Constitution of Renzi deprived provinces, but it was rejected, Now you have to go to elections).
The reader may say: who cares provinces? Well, their abolition would not bring any savings if the cost of elections. (this data was confirmed several times in the following years). And it seems a good thing to give your vote ?
No regional president opposed the violation of the Constitution, for sure in fact the provincial functions would be merged by regions giving them more power and money to manage.
No public constitutionalist was scandalized by the attempted constitutional coup. No parliamentarian rose up declaring the violation of the Constitution . We did it.
Initially there was only my voice, censored, felt only on the web and in some rare TV broadcast.
The basic principle I preached was the violation of the province's sphere of autonomy, and I stated that a consultative referendum on repeal was necessary because it was imposed by the European Charter on the self-government of local authorities.
I was ignored, Why….. Loris Palmerini may have known more than illustrious constitutionalists ?
I took the initiative to write to a few thousand municipalities in Italy by filing a request for participation in the PEC to obtain the referendum, certified mail mandatory by law that is very often not even read or is read after months (so why impose the certified e-mail on companies?).
Following some common and some provinces began to move.
But it was decisive collaboration of a councilor of Limena (province of Padua), who, federalist like me, He held at the provincial level and above the democratic common skills.
Deepening the speech together we have built a text, which then it was accepted and approved by the council of the municipality of Limena .
In that text, motivated by the rules, the town simply called for the respect of their skills, and respect for the population's referendum law, his due when you go to delete an entity subject to elections. Here she is resolution of the Municipality of Limena.
INSTANTLY AND’ BLOCKED THE REFORM OF THE PROVINCES, and no one has explained why.
Note again that the cancellation of the provinces would not carry out any savings, but only the cost of elections.
In your opinion, it is a good thing that a democratic level of voting is canceled?
According to some politicians, yes. In particular, the current minister Zanonato was a keen promoter of the creation of the PA-TRE-VE province, formed from Padua, Treviso and Venice, and he spent a lot of money completely unaware that the constitution was being violated.
And with many other of Veneto regional senior politicians, and parliament, and those who were in government and supported him: PD, PDL, UDC…
E’ the ignorance of the Constitution demonstrated by Monti is appalling, by his government, and those who have facilitated this failed coup partial Democrat. Volunteer? Involuntary due to inability?
The question becomes: how is it possible that an entire political and ruling class did not notice this violation of the Constitution?
We want to talk of Sicily which has effectively erased one level of government established by the Constitution and no one has cried foul?
I say that a country reduced to this level of dementia of the management class has no hope, it is in putrefactive metastasis of governability.
You know why we are reduced to this? Because the elections are piloted, that is, they are rigged, you make fraud, and the press is regime, controlled, oppressed, at the service of lies he decided to covert level. There is no information but only propaganda.
Who is elected is dictated by the media (ownership of banks), and is supported even when he is not eligible as Berlusconi.
Those who are inconvenient to the media are censored, do not give it the opportunity to express his thoughts and participate in democracy.
Most journalists are certainly not constitutional, therefore they do not know what one is talking about when it is said “reforms”.
This is not democracy, that of Italy is a neo-fascist system of corporations or bands of power that apparently fight each other but which are all united by the same hidden direction.
A system that keeps forcibly excluded who knows how to honestly, because it is incompatible with this system.
In a democracy, something as serious as that of the flagrant violation of the Constitution to delete the provinces , requires the resignation of the author, ie the Head of Government. At least the supreme leader.
You who read that you will give up the one your car without license ?
And why do you leave people who have proven NOT to know the Constitution to the government of the country?
I personally believe that those who have been shown to not knowing the Constitution should not sit on the Government, and even in parliament, because it is a danger for everyone.
You do not believe that Monti should resign ? They should do well all former government ministers, and the professoroni who supported them, but claim that at least he should resign.
I really think you read that you should at least make the effort to click a button to tell Monti “resign”.
Would you let drive a bus in which you have gone to an old blind man ? Do not you think it would be unwise?
Then click to the resignation of Monti!!
Especially since they want to change the Constitution. But how ? These have proven to be incompetent and you let them go?
Upgrading 2017: the demand for Monti signed resignation 20 people.
