Plebiscite 2013
Plebiscite 2013 (Plebiscito 2013, P2013) is a cross-party nonpartisan committee campaigning for a referendum on the independence of Veneto from Italy. Its spokesperson is Lodovico Pizzati, a former secretary of Venetian Independence (IV), one of the most active Venetist-separatist parties so far.
The committee is part of a long-time effort started in November 2012 with the endorsement by the Regional Council of Veneto of resolution 44/2012 on the self-determination of the Venetian people through a referendum. In April 2013 Stefano Valdegamberi, a regional councillor of the Union of the Centre and later of Popular Future, introduced a bill (342/2013) in order to call a referendum on independence by the end of the year.[1][2][3][4][5] By 7 June the bill was endorsed by more than 15 regional councillors, sufficient to convene a special session of the Council on the issue.[6][7] Also several municipal councils endorsed the bill.[8]
In June 2013 Pizzati formed a joint separatist cartel with Valdegamberi of Popular Future (FP), Antonio Guadagnini of Veneto State (VS), Fabrizio Comencini of Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR), other Venetist groups, associations and individuals.[9] Subsequently, on 7 July, Pizzati launched P2013, which has since been endorsed by politicians from different parties, activists, intellectuals, professionals and entrepreneurs.[10][11][12] They notably included Franco Rocchetta.[13]
The birth of P2013 caused a rift within IV as some members, led by president Luca Azzano Cantarutti, rejected Pizzati's initiative and formed Let Veneto Decide, which was endorsed by Valdegamberi, VS, LVR, Raixe Venete, Veneto First, Independentist Youth, other Venetist groups and individuals (see article).
In October P2013 launched Veneto Business, a platform for separatist entrepreneurs, in partnership with Business for Scotland.[14][15][16]
In November P2013 launched the proposal of an online referendum to be held in each and every municipality of Veneto on 16 February 2014.[17][18] The consultation, with no official recognition, was later postponed in order to take place from 16 to 21 March 2014.[19]
