Venetian independence: a referendum will be organized.

[Peyrol]

Lulz you know nothing about economy. That won't ever happen. Just like Scottish independence....it would be a failure. Stop dreaming on and deal wih reality ffs

Mi sembra di essere stato chiaro al riguardo:

queso lo scrivo per gli altri italiani...

sicuramente la cosa è anticostituzionale e naufragherà nelle solite proteste e null'altro...però già il fatto che se ne parli a livello nazionale e probabilmente si raccoglieranno le firme necessarie, è un ulteriore sintomo della debolezza dello stato centralizzato.

e comunque il topic è un interessante discussione ''what if scenario'', per lo meno.
A meno che non preferiate i soliti noiosi e fastidiosi thread ''who look sicilian''...

I'm all for it if a majority of Venetians wish so. It is a nation in its own right, and it was a sovereign state for more than 1,000 years.

But

"And we are building on a very strong base – calls for independence for the Veneto region go back to the 1970s. It may sound crazy but I think Veneto will become independent before Scotland or Catalonia."

With all due respect, I'd say that is wishful thinking. Pro-independence feeling in Scotland and Catalonia embraces a half of their populations, not just some thousands.

Friuli has a strong sense of ethnic pride, btw. Their language is the last remnant of the rhaeto-romance branch of eastern romance languages

Really the Rheto-romance languages (Friulian, Ladin, Romansh) are western romance, a subgroup of the Gallo- romance languages.

Wow, just wow!

Venice almost defected to the Orthodox Church in the late medieval period.

I doubt it will happen though. Things are boring and move slowly in modern politics.

in Scotland it's about 43%Yes;57%No, on average atm. Momentum with Yes. You Catalans, I think are above 50% from what I've heard.

Yes, or so it said in the last poll I know from four months ago. Here it's 54% Yes, 22% No. And many who are unsure or wouldn't vote.

Anyway, the Spanish government won't allow it and so there'll will be new anticipated elections. So I care more for the polls about what parties are going to be voted. This might well end up in a unilateral declaration of independence, even if that's not the way I'd like it.

I like Venetia and Venetians but think that's it should be more federalism in Italy to solve these regional problems)
