A historic turning point for the people of Veneto

THE 27 September 2011 The Court of Cassation is called to decide some issues that will change the relationship between Italian state and minorities in particular the relationship with the Venetian people forever.

The question that the Court of Cassation is called to decide is whether the expression "the self -government of the Venetian people is realized .... etc .. ”means something or nothing. More precisely the cassation you have to recognize (a denial) To the Venetian people the rights that are due to all minor nations, i.e. the right to bilingualism, to public officials who speak the language, to bilingual schools, on TV and newspapers in language (veneta), on a road billboard in language. In practice, the Court of Cassation must decide whether the "Convention-Quadro for the protection of national minorities" is applied to the Venetians "Stce n.157 , that Italy recognized with L.N.302/1997.

This legislation, already old from 14 years, recognizes all these rights, But the state has never applied them to anyone, Not even to linguistic minorities such as cimbri, Sardinian, Friulian etc.

Who called to decide the Cassation ?

in 2009 I founded the "Venetie for Autogoverno" party with friends www.venetie.in who started the assumption that the "Venetian people" is not only recognized by Italian law (art.2 L.n.340 / 1971) But for the same law he also has the right of self -government, that is, to more or less shared sovereignty. To exercise it, however, it was necessary to constitute in the 1999 of the representative institutions (precisely the self -government of the Venetian people) Based on international self -determination law (L.n.881/1977).

The self -government of the Venetian people legally represents the interests of the Venetians, and today the most representative body of the Venetian people with beyond 5000 people who have declared Venetian of nationality asking that the rights are recognized. Declaring himself Venetian is by law a right, not an obligation, You can also give up on declaring such, but the related rights are renounced. At the same time, regardless of how many the Venetians are, they legally have the right that their territory is bilingual, with road signs, schools, TV in language etc..

The rule that imposes it has become "binding" from 2009 with the Lisbon Treaty, that is, it prevails over the Italian Constitution because it is a higher rank that Italy (also for articles 2 E 10 the Constitution) and the EU have committed themselves to respecting as fundamental human rights.

In short words, Failure to comply with this rule shows that the state discusses the Venetians denying them fundamental rights.

The self -government of the Venetian people had already asked Galan in 2009 the application due to this rule, Also asking for reserved electoral colleges and the insured partnership for business as is foreseen by the standard.

However, only when the Venetie party for autogoverno presented itself in the regional elections of the 2010 The law of the Veneto people has been legally invoked , Since in its statute the political party recognized the existence of the institutions of autogoverno, And self -government recognized the party as the bearer of the political rights of the Venetian people within the Italian institutions.

Since Venetie for Autogoverno was excluded from the regional elections (and had already been completely censored in the provincials of Padua del 2009) , dragged the Veneto region into a dispute aimed at canceling the elections of the 2010, which are contrary to the European Treaty.

Both the TAR CE the Council of State have given the party wrong, claiming that the expression "Veneto people" in practice indicates nothing more than the residents, but they did it without analyzing a document in which the Veneto Region itself in 1998 recognized the Venetian people as such, and indeed he recognized precisely the right of self -government and self -determination exercised by the Venetians since 1999. However the Region, while recognizing the Venetian people, He claimed to be the representative of the Venetian people, which is impossible for various reasons, First of all because the Venetian people extends from Trentino to all Venice including the one in Friuli. Furthermore, in the regional territory there are also other components such as Cimbri, i ladini, The Friulians and Germanophones that the Region can represent as an entity, but not as minorities, as they represent themselves alone.

This last concept is also poorly understood by some parties who think of "Veneto" as a social reality corresponding to the region, while Veneti are also in all respects those who are in the territory attached in 1866, much larger than the region.

To confirm that this is the Constitutional Court in 2007 has sanctioned that the Region Authority cannot represent a people as the "region" is only a piece of administrative body of the State, an extension of it, With all due respect to those who think they do independence when they had the regional presidency.

The Cassation is aware that the decision will mark a fundamental watershed not only for the Venetians, But for all the minorities of Italy, and for the same credibility of Italy as a state in the European Union. For this reason, the Cassation will meet in "United Sections", sign of great interest and value for the decision to be made.

In short, the decision of the Cassation will end up in the university manuals, And this is already a great success of the party that demonstrated that it has the resources capable of raising issues and defending the interests of the Venetians even without having chairs in the regional council or in the provinces.

The Cassation will also have to say that recognizing special rights to minorities is not discriminatory, not only because it is already written in the law, But why the TAR and the Council of State

they said it would be discriminatory to recognize specialties to citizens, incredible thing since from 50 years there are regions such as the Aosta Val d'Aosta, South Tyrol etc..

Venezie for Autogoverno says that the Venetian people have the same rights recognized to the South Tyrolean (South Tyrol) and the right to full bilingualism, and says, however, that our rights take root above the Constitution, In international human rights that have become mandatory with the 2009 which prevail over the Constitution.

On the other hand, the law we invoke, It clearly states that it is forbidden to disconnect the existence of a minority, Especially since the Venetians are recognized both by the State and by the Region as "people", And in this we are the only ones throughout Italy.

With great effort the party has come to this goal and in any case they will be a victory.

In fact if it were denied that the Venetians are a people, automatically the requested rights should be recognized to all linguistic minorities, causing not only the cancellation of the Veneto elections (For injury of the rights of Cimbri, ladini, Friuli and Germanophones), but also the elections of many other regions including Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino, Friuli etc..

Even if the Cassation should say that "Veneto people" means "residents", It would be in the paradox that the regional elections would be null for the lack of vote of immigrants !

In short, even if paradoxically the Court of Cassation would give us wrong, however, it would recognize that the Veneto elections have been illegal, because the linguistic minorities recognized by the State Law, like cimbri, ladini, Germany and Friuli, However, they had the right to special colleges as for in Istria and Dalmatia where the "Italians" vote 2 times.

We are confident that legal rights will prevail over political logic, that the law will be applied even if the government of the Veneto Region falls.

Because in fact the decision will have a political effect, albeit due to the violations of fundamental laws by those who ruled.

Even if the Cassation would have wrong wrong to the party, There will be effects, And the Venetian Party will still remain the opportunity to contact Europe and the Council of Europe, where that law made it and impose it. C’è qualcuno che pur di sminuire il valore di quello che abbiamo fatto dice perfino che anche in Europa ci darebbero torto, ma non crediamo che l’Unione Europea metterà in discussione l’intero fondamento democratico perdendo la faccia con l’intero occidente.

Comunque vada da buoni veneti, siamo certi che prima o dopo avremo ragione, che prima o dopo la spunteremo.

Quello che è sicuro è che dopo la sentenza tutto cambierà, sarà evidente che molti discorsi che oggi si sentono sono del tutto infondati, senza conoscenza delle leggi, senza conoscenza dei diritti dei veneti e delle leggi.

I partiti che ostacolano questo processo di autodeterminazione sono pericolosi perché ritardano la realizzazione dei diritti che sono già scritti nella legge, agiscono, volenti o no, come armi di distrazione per i potentati.

Il partito chiede ai veneti di dichiararsi veneti all’anagrafe del popolo veneto, perché non facendolo la legge internazionale li riconosce senza il diritto al bilinguismo, come semplici italiani.

Noi chiediamo a tutti i veneti di dichiararsi «veneti» all’apposita anagrafe di autogoverno, e di dichiararsi veneti anche nel censimento italiano 2011, nel quadratino «cittadinanza», perché lo Stato non lascia la possibilità di dichiarare la propria nazionalità o la doppia cittadinanza, in violazione del diritto umano internazionale.

E’ fondamentale dichiararsi veneti all’anagrafe del popolo veneto per far vedere che il popolo veneto esiste, altrimenti l’Italia ignora i suoi diritti. Sono già molte migliaia i cittadini veneti che si sono dichiararti, senza paura, non dichiararsi significa rinunciare ai propri diritti.

Il partito chiede agli iscritti e ai simpatizzanti un contributo per le spese sostenute, perché comunque la chiarezza sulla materia che la sentenza porterà avrà un grande valore per tutti i cittadini che amano la libertà e la giustizia.
