Encyclopedia
Alessio Morosin is a Venetian
independentist
, Venetist politician and lawyer.
He joined Liga Veneta
–Lega Nord in the early 1990s and was elected to the Regional Council of Veneto
at the 1995 regional election
. A fiery Venetist, he is known in Venetist circles as the author of resolution 42/1998 concerning the "self-determination" of the "Venetian people". The resolution read: "The Venetian people [...] invokes its right to a democratic and direct referendum for the free expression of its right to self-determination". The resolution was approved by a majority vote in the Council on 22 April 1998.
His strong Venetism eventually led Morosin to leave Liga Veneta–Lega Nord in October 1998 to join Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR), along with Fabrizio Comencini
and other four regional councillors. In 2000
he missed re-election and was an unsuccessful candidate in many other elections. In 2004, when LVR secretary Ettore Beggiato
and a majority of party members switched to North-East Project
(PNE), Morosin remained faithful to Comencini and was elected party president, a post he held until 2007. Disillusioned with traditional Venetism, he watched with great interest the birth of the Venetian National Party
(PNV) in 2008 and finally joined Veneto State
(VS) at his founding congress in September 2010. A year later, during a party congress in October 2011, he ran for party president of VS, but lost to Lucio Chiavegato.
