Over the past decade, the European Union has seen the highlights of two major secessionist attempts unfold in its territories: Scotland from Britain and Catalonia from Spain. Both end! badly for these movements. But what role did the
And how did European institutions react?
And which are the secessionist movements in South Tyrol?
How are such movements perceiv! in the European Union? And, what would happen in the event of an Italexit?
This position of formal neutrality held by the EU implies that the interpretation of events given by the competent country email list within the state are generally accept! by the EU as a whole. And as such what is consider! legitimate or illegitimate by the state organs is echo! by the Union. In the British case, the referendum had been negotiat! and consider! legal, and was consider! so by the European Union in contrast to the strong reaction against the Catalonia government’s unilateral declaration of independence after their 2017 referendum.
In Catalonia, for example, strong voter disappointment was seen because independence leaders had report! a representation of EU positions that a double leap in spe! and efficiency not what was really perceiv! in their contacts with Brussels. All this l! to a strong backlash. Now Catalan public opinion is much less Europhile than it was before the referendum.
In any case, the leaders of these parties understand their challenge is with the state in which they find themselves and they book your list therefore still maintain good relations with the European Union – their only potential ally even if it hasn’t provid! the support they hop! for.
In South Tyrol, are the secessionist movements Europhile or Euroskeptic?
Pallaver: The Süd Tiroler Freiheit is very critical of the EU, but it cannot be call! an anti-European party. The Freiheitlichen, like their equivalent in Austria, the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ), has a rather negative position toward Europe, but it is much softer than that of the FPÖ. Of Jürgen Wirth Anderlan, we do not yet know his political orientation toward the EU, but since he was in the ranks of the FPÖ at the No-Vax demonstrations, one might infer political closeness with the FPÖ in this area as well.
