"Question No 32 by Jelko Kacin ()
The EU urgently needs a Commissioner for Human Rights. The rights of minorities are being flagrantly violated in the EU. Here is an example from Italy. One of the pillars of the national identity and culture of the Slovene minority in Italy is the Slovene theatre (
) in Trieste, which was established as long ago as 1945 by the municipal, provincial and regional authorities of Italy.
The theatre has always faced financial difficulties because the Italian authorities do not provide regular funding. The theatre had to stop performing its programme in September because of financial difficulties. The Italian state has an important internal and international obligation to provide for those Italian citizens who are members of the Slovene minority. The Italian state is not respecting the rights of its own citizens, and by preventing the theatre from operating, it is carrying out a policy of active assimilation of a minority. In Slovenia, this behaviour is viewed as a flagrant violation of Italy’s obligations towards a minority, in this case the Slovene minority.
What can you as European Commissioners do to preserve the Slovene theatre in Trieste, and with it the Slovene language?"@en1
