1940

And there was the canon Gamper, and it was he who then in turn has contributed to the war, establishing the People's Party. That was really the political Amonn, a businessman from Bolzano and others who have since participated. But then there was, I remember there was also in Verano, since he had been to the Italian mayor, the Podesta, was a local man but he had an Italian woman from the Trentino, and was a Dableiber and then said: "Yes, the mayor, the optants were used, which is now out of work who has nothing more to say" and the old ... Podesta said, "Now I rule!" and the farmers have him suffer and I can not rightly know, I've been sent around to collect signatures to bring it to the government commissioner to Bolzano, that they want to have a peasant as the next mayor. But there - there are already things have changed .. it also happened in some other village but were particularly optants, that is, non-opting parties who were in Italy the stay there, which were then used by the Italians as the mayor and other reasonable people, or men. - - And since then stop - the People's Party has tried to an all German forces and to pool, but as equal to the wily De Gasperi come. For the De Gasperi were still in the Austrian Parliament in Vienna popolare member of the Italian Popular Party Popolo of Trentino by Welsch Tyrol, and of course, knew all the tricks that had politicians and then, Austria was occupied three parts of the French, then from the Russians and then by the English and I still believe so, and Austria, the foreign minister Gruber, the one who had the hands full and was no match for the De Gasperi as a lawyer and politician. And then - yes, the South Tyrolean got one, in the context of autonomy they have in English called the (), and under their own autonomy and in this context, the De Gasperi and the Trentino into the same paragraph, and so have the Trentino somehow had economic and political benefits - - - that have since applied some of the saying, "What is autonomy? i'll take the car!" And then over time these were the protests that they have yet again achieved partial independence from the Trentino by the People's Party, and therefore this unit. I can still remember the first election after the First World War, that was 1924, there was still Volksboten a call that the "halt to vote and there has been:" Vote Edelweiss with lime leaf! " the linden leaf was the sign of the Liberal Party, but who wanted to, but the people should get their own administration ---. And otherwise, now is the great danger of fragmentation.
