On January 29th, 2013, the G.U.P. (Giudice Udienze Preliminari – Judge of the preliminary hearing) of the Court of Trieste issued judgment 49/13.
Roberto Giurastante is clear from the charge of libeling: the trial was an attempt to ridicule his complaints against LNG terminals in Trieste.
Nobody ever talks about this inconvenient: how Italian authorities forced the people of the Free Territory of Trieste to serve in the Italian army.
Two States: two budgets, two administrations: Italian officers serving as administrative authorities must exercise Trieste’s jurisdiction, not Italy’s.
…contrary to State propagandas and mystifications, Trieste is not “dear” to Italy’s heart. It is a dangerous competitor, and it must be silenced at all costs.
