*** The general thrust of Busato’s referendum was confirmed by an opinion poll conducted at around the same time and published Tuesday by La Repubblica newspaper. The Demos poll found around half of those questioned had voted in the referendum or intended to do so and 80 percent of them supported the idea of independence for the Veneto region. The surprising success of the poll has generated expressions of interest from > and from another European region interested in pursuing a campaign for independence, Busato said. “It’s our intention to assist European regions that want to mobilize for independence,” he said. ***
