Double passage, Urzì: “Arrogant request from Austria. Unilateral demands from Vienna”
“Questionable and frankly inadmissible new unilateral demands presented in the past few hours from parliamentary subcommittee to the problems of South Tyrol of Austrian Parliament visiting the Provincial Council of Bolzano“.
The press release issued by the provincial of the Brothers of Italy begins with these words Alessandro Urzi on the request for a concession by Vienna of double pass to the South Tyrolean native speakers of German and Ladin.
“In this serious moment of international context, place the theme of” unilateral granting of Austrian citizenship to a portion of the population of a third country constitutes an inadmissible provocation and contrary to international law due to the absence of the principle of bilateralism – emphasizes Urzi -. Autonomy created a condition of extraordinary favor for the German-speaking populations in Italy and was sanctioned as the definitive solution to the South Tyrolean dispute also by the Austrian authorities in 1992.“.
It’s still: “To challenge those conditions by proposing a enlargement of Austrian sovereignty on Italian territory it represents a Russian model approach.
The interference of the Austrian parliamentary delegation on the question of the pronouncements of the Italian Constitutional Court on the rules of the Province that violate it, is a previous tomb that the Italian government should reject with the utmost firmness. As well as the opinions expressed on the hypothesis of cancellation of the Italian toponymy in South Tyrol“.
“There choice of the Austrian parliamentary subcommittee not to meet, however, the Italian national authorities during its visit to the province of Bolzano reinforces the idea of bilateral relations on an equal footing between an Austrian national institution and an Italian province that mortifies every rule of international diplomacy“, Concludes the councilor.
