Yes, well, you have cursed us at home. On the road. All Kufstein, all have complained Tyrol: "We put up with that." This is the most vile, because the Italians are only as come up, because our troops have declined, the Italian's not South captured at the time, but it was. . just limitless There was no limit and they have come up to since you were even to go to Innsbruck, if not then the other powers had forced the Italians, until the torch to withdraw and the burner as the natural -. then - a natural border between Austria and Italy would have been accepted. What if it had been necessary to have a natural limit. Up to Ala, to down there, that was our country that was South Tyrol. But of course, as a young person is felt not just like that older person. I remember how my father, for example, been angry as formidable as the Allies did nothing to ensure that our South Tyrolean again get back, but that they agreed that the Italians remain on the burner. you had to go back .. to the burner - they were already on the burner come to Innsbruck, but they had to return to the burner and that remained the border and is still, unfortunately, I must say: "Sorry." Because every war - showing that, either. the story so clearly - every war brings the shifting boundaries and creates human minorities in other States that have so terribly difficult to enforce there precisely because they are a minority and expect the majority of course, nothing can ensure that we recognize their language. their rights, their culture, their lifestyle.
