THE ITALIAN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE RULES THAT THE FREE TERRITORY OF TRIESTE DOES NOT EXIST, THE FAKE SUPPORTERS OF INDEPENDENCE APPLAUD HER
June 11th, 2015: I stand before Justice of the Peace Carla Milocco. With her ordinance, she rejects my exception on jurisdiction, based on the lack of Italian sovereignty over the Free Territory of Trieste.
The plaintiff is lawyer Nicola Sponza, secretary of Territorio Libero/TL3 (it claims to be pro-independence), and manager of NGO “Triest” – an abnormal non-profit organization occupied by Italian collaborationists who, despite claiming to defend the rights of the citizens of the Free Territory of Trieste internationally, locally supports participating to Italian elections, which are a breach of those very rights.
Incredibly, the Justice of the Peace decides:
“… as for the first point of the exception, consisting in the lack of jurisdiction of Italian bodies within the “Free Territory of Trieste allegedly established and in legal force with the Memorandum of Understanding of London of 1954, the question was overcome with the Treaty of Osimo of 1975 ….”.
In my exception, I explained that the Free Territory of Trieste is established pursuant to the 1947 Treaty of Peace with Italy (art.21). Certainly not under the MoU of London, a later agreement regarding the sub-entrusting of the FTT’s temporary civil administration, and no later agreement could amend any part of the 1947 Treaty of Peace, which is still in force.
Furthermore, a Justice of the Peace is an honorary magistrate envisioned by the Italian legal system: was such an authority extended to the Free Territory of Trieste? If the Justice of the Peace doesn’t know the source of her powers, she could have asked the Commissioner of the Government, whose authority regards also the Trieste legal district.
But what is really surprising here is that lawyer Sponza, despite his political role of secretary in an allegedly pro-independence movement, asks the Court to reject my exception on jurisdiction (in which I sought nothing more than being judged by a legitimate Court of the Free Territory).
The minutes of the hearing contain also the lawyer Bridda’s declaration (she represents her colleague Sponza before Court) in which she recognizes the jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace and Italian sovereignty over the FTT once again, and he is fine with it:
“… The Public Prosecutor demands to reject the exception, stating it has no legal ground…. Lawyer Bridda demands to continue the trial, and reserves to provide further ordinances about those matters issued by the Civil and the Criminal Court of Trieste…”.
This means that in an attempt to disprove my exception, lawyer Bridda declars that she is willing to provide further documentation agains any attempts to have the jurisdiction of the Free Territory of Trieste recognized. And lawyer Sponza is completely fine with it.
Including the “famous” ordinance of judge Leanza, issued in one of my previous proceedings after I rejected the investigating magistrates three times due to their unmotivated refusal to declare what jurisdiction applies to Trieste.
I was punished with heavy fees for exercising my rights, those I have as a citizen of the Free Territory of Trieste, by virtue of the Italian Peace Treaty.
But it was my exceptions on jurisdiction, first presented in December 2011, that made possible re-opening the legal question of the Free Territory of Trieste, locally and also internationally.
Seeing my work devalued and declared untrue by the same people who, outside Court, use it for their own gain, having my work used against me and in favor of Italian Courts, which deny Trieste’s independence, by people who claim to stand for Trieste’s rights and independence is the best example of how they betrayed the once common ideals and cause.
