Regional government of Trentino-South Tyrol
The regional government of Trentino-Alto Adige (also called regional committee ; Italian Giunta regional del Trentino-Alto Adige , Ladin Junta regionala dl Trentino-Alto Adige ) is the executive body of the autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige . By means of ordinances and administrative decrees, it ensures the concrete implementation of the regional laws that are passed by the Regional Council of Trentino-South Tyrol . Since the adoption (1971) and entry into force (1972) of the Second Statute of Autonomy , with which the majority of all powers were transferred to the two autonomous provinces of South Tyrol and Trentino , the regional government has only had minor executive powers. Its headquarters are in the official building of the Autonomous Region of Trentino-South Tyrol in Trento .
history
The first regional government of Trentino-Alto Adige was elected on January 5, 1949 by the regional council in its composition after the elections of November 28, 1948. Through the First Statute of Autonomy , the regional government had expanded executive powers and was politically of primary importance at the regional level. An institutional crisis began in 1959 when the members of the government of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) resigned for the first time in unison to demand that responsibilities be transferred from the region to the two autonomous provinces, South Tyrol and Trentino . Between 1960 and 1970, the SVP refused to participate in government, which meant that it was no longer possible to comply with the legally required proportionate composition of the regional government with members of the German and Italian language groups.
With the adoption (1971) and entry into force (1972) of the Second Statute of Autonomy , the region was finally largely disempowered. The vast majority of competencies were transferred to the two autonomous provinces. Accordingly, the regional government also lost a great deal of political weight. This fact is also reflected in a political agreement that has been in place since 2004: If the office of regional president had previously been filled independently, the governors of South Tyrol and Trentino have been chairing the government for half of each legislative period.
Choice and composition
The regional government is elected by the regional council from among its members in a secret ballot and with an absolute majority. Regional council members elected to the regional government retain their regional council mandate.
The regional government consists of a president, two vice-presidents and a variable number of regional assessors. The composition of the regional government (now typically five to six members) must in any case reflect the proportional distribution of the German and Italian language groups in the regional council. According to the Second Statute of Autonomy of 1972, these two language groups each have a Vice-President. A Ladin representation in the regional government became compulsory by the Constitutional Law No. 2/2001: Since then, Article 36 provides that the Ladin language group is guaranteed “representation in the regional committee that differs from proportional representation”.
