... you could pefectly argue that there is some degree of unionism implied.
And in fact, isn't Italy a Federal Republic? |
No technically we are not a Federal Republic, only 5 regions on 20 have a certain autonomy officially recognized by the state while the others are costitutionally controlled by the central parlament .
And i do believe that some form of unionism is necessary to Europe if we don't want to have a marginal role in the world future, i don't believe that this union have to be political or cultural but economical.
