We have to fight for it! ………We do strongly believe that when the majority wants to be independent there is nothing they can do.”-Giovanni Dalla Valle, Veneto Independence Movement

Since 16 March 2014, residents of the state of Veneto have been voting in an referendum that could see Veneto declare independence from the U.S. led Trilateral Commission NATO member country of Italy.

The referendum ends 21 March 2014.

International law says “….all peoples have an inalienable right to complete freedom, the exercise of their sovereignty and the integrity of their national territory, and that, by virtue of that right, they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”-UN resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960
