Court of Trieste: the citizens present 50 acts to question Italian sovereignty
New judicial and political-diplomatic INITIATIVE of the Free Trieste Movement – Movimento Trieste Libera
Trieste, 12.19.2014. – On Friday, December 19th, about fifty activists of the Free Trieste Movement started addressing the local Italian authorities with declarations denying the civil, criminal, administrative, military and fiscal jurisdiction of the Italian State over Trieste’s territory, citizens, companies and international Free Port.
The document is based on the provisions of both the 1947 Italian Peace Treaty, which establishes the Free Territory of Trieste as an independent State, and of the 1954 MoU signed in London, which entrusts the new State to the temporary civil administration of the Italian Government (not of the State).
None of the aforementioned provisions was amended by the 1974 Italian-Yugoslav Treaty. Free Trieste’s exception does not regard former “Zone B” because in 1991-92 that became Slovenia’s and Croatia’s sovereign territory.
Free Trieste announces that it is to consolidate the exceptions of jurisdiction with a new, international act of complaint: in a 45-pages analysis, the Movement demonstrates the Free Territory of Trieste’s existence ever since 1947, and seeking international, communitarian and criminal sanctions against the Italian Authorities who deny it, forcing undue Italian taxes and incompatible Italian laws to Trieste.
All the citizens and companies interested in this action can contact Free Trieste. The Movement’s office is in piazza della Borsa 7, office hours, telephone: (+39) 040 2470772.
