Charity TRIEST “NGO” acknowledges judgment No. 530/2013 in a note addressed to the Prefect. The note includes an attack to the appellants who addressed the Court. The authors? 4 dissident “founding” members of the Free Trieste Movement. Italy can be grateful.
(See translation notes at the bottom for more information*).
Trieste, October 2013: the Regional Administrative Court for Friuli Venezia Giulia (TAR FVG) issues administrative Judgment 530/2013. A decision that is seriously hampering the legal battle for the Free Territory of Trieste’s rights.
The judgment, later confirmed by the Administrative Court of 2nd instance (Council of State) is an egregious attempt to prevent Trieste’s citizens from ever opposing again to the illegitimate Italian elections in Trieste. A crime that continues since 1954. A crime, because those illegal elections are the core of the simulation of Italian sovereignty over the present-day Free Territory of Trieste and over its international Free Port.
Indeed, not only the judgment (point 23) claims that the very appeal is “decidedly subversive” in nature; it goes as far as accusing the main appellant of threatening the Italian Republic’s territorial integrity.
The Italian administrative court crosses the line twice as it denies the validity of the 1947 Italian Peace Treaty, of UNSC Resolution 16 (1947), and of the 1954 MoU regarding the Free Territory of Trieste. All at once.
According to the TAR FVG, not only the international Free Port of Trieste belongs to Italy, but its precious free zone can be “transferred” anywhere within the Italian State.
Yes, that’s it: they think the international Free Port, a State corporation of the Free Territory, can be strip of its free zones, for them to “move” wherever the Italian authorities wish. For example, in the ports of Venice, Genoa, Taranto, and, why not, Gioia Tauro.
Essentially, this Italian Court has just “creatively” rewritten the rules-based international order. At this point, Italian “justice” may as well rule that might makes right, calling upon itself a new absolute authority, maybe deriving right from the empyrean.
So, Italian officers, in the name of one EU founder and member, are slaughtering the Rule of Law.
Even more surreal, thanks to the Italian State’s propagandas, including through accomplishing organizations, there are even citizens of Trieste who support those anti-legal claims (also known as negative right).
It is citizens that believe lies, quick solutions, namely, “partial” application of the Treaty of Peace, in particular, of its Annex VIII (management of the international Free Port). Applying only “part” of a law is simply not possible, but claiming so may earn easy economic and political gains.
In order to end the stand of legality in Trieste, Italy is well willing to offer “complete packages” to whoever wants to switch sides. This would mean betraying the cause of the independence of Trieste in exchange of a lifetime pension granted by the Italian Republic. But it would as well mean abandoning former comrades, abandoning and leaving behind those who are not willing to fall for it. Everyone has a price. But this is only true for those who are willing to trade, to lose their freedom. Forever.
As for me, I am a citizen of the Free Territory of Trieste: I’d rather stand for freedom.

In order to end the in-accomplishments of the Italian Government as for what it would rather grant, Triest NGO wants to keep strongly affirming the reason of the dock workers of Trieste in all competent international competent institutions. [the mistake concerning the repetition of “competent” is present in the original text A/N].

The post of “Trieste Libera Founders”:
Today, the State of Italy started asking Court fees to the succumbing parts after the judgment TAR 530/2013 – Council of State.
They did it fast, they want to shut the matter: who is gonna pay, considering that back then the signers had also been promised the reimburse for what they had anticipated?Not only the signers cannot be reimbursed they are even going to pay a fee.
The main appellant risks nothing, but appellants who enjoys an income of owns something may as well lose it.
If your memory is blurry, here are the names: (link to the judgment, in Italian).
