The government of the Veneto
is to confer next week on the terms of a referendum on the
autonomy of the affluent northeastern region, sources told ANSA
Wednesday. Governor Luca Zaia will lead discussions on the most
feasible way to bid for juridical recognition of the hoped-for
referendum, they said. The Veneto has long harboured breakaway
movements, which used to be spearheaded at one point by Zaia's
Northern league before it abandoned its secessionary thrust.
