You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.172.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Slovene Union''' (((lang-sl|Slovenska skupnost)), '''SSk''', ((lang-it|Unione Slovena)), '''US''') is a [[List of political parties in Italy|political party in Italy]] representing the [[Slovene minority in Italy|Slovene minority]] in the [[Friuli-Venezia Giulia]] region.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.parties-and-elections.eu/fvg.html|title=Friuli-Venezia Guilia/Italy|last=Nordsieck|first=Wolfram|date=2018|website=Parties and Elections in Europe))</ref> Its Slovene name means literally "Slovene Community", but the denomination "Slovene Union" is used in other languages.

The party was founded in the 1960s to represent the [[anti-communism|anti-communist]] Slovenes in the Italian [[Julian March]] (provinces of [[Province of Trieste|Trieste]] and [[Province of Gorizia|Gorizia]]). It the 1970s and 1980s, it extended its presence also to [[Venetian Slovenia]] and [[Canale Valley]] in the [[Province of Udine]]. It has been considered to be close to the [[Catholic Church]] and has drawn its support from various Slovene Catholic institutions in Italy, such as the [[Hermagoras Society]] and the [[Council of Slovene Organizations]].

Since 2007, the SSk is affiliated to the [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]] (PD). The relation between the two parties is regulated by an "agreement of federation", which guarantees the full autonomy of the SSk.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.gruppopd.fvg.it/sloveno.php |access-date=May 16, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110425164747/http://www.gruppopd.fvg.it/sloveno.php |archive-date=April 25, 2011 |title=De?elna svetovalska skupina PD ))</ref>

==History==
The SSk was founded in 1962 with the merger of several Slovene [[anti-communism|anti-communist]] political organizations that had functioned since 1945 in the Italian part of the [[Julian March]] (Venezia Giulia), that is in the provinces [[Province of Gorizia|Gorizia]] and [[Province of Trieste|Trieste]] (until 1954 Zone A of the [[Free Territory of Trieste]]). These organizations included the Slovene Christian Social Union (''Slovenska krščansko socialna zveza'', SKSZ), led by [[Engelbert Besednjak]] and [[Avgust Sfiligoj]]; the [[liberalism|liberal]] Slovene Democratic Union (''Slovenska demokratska zveza'', SDZ), led by [[Josip Agneletto]] and [[Andrej Uršič]]; and the [[social democracy|social-democratic]] Group of Independent Slovenes (''Skupina neodvisnih Slovencev'', SNS), led by [[Josip Ferfolja]], [[Frane Tončič]] and [[Dušan Rybář]]. All these groups shared an [[anti-fascism|anti-fascist]] ideology, they were opposed to [[Italian nationalism]] and [[centralisation|centralism]], as well as to the [[Communist state|Communist regime]] of the nearby [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]]. Coming from different ideological background, but sharing similar programs, these groups soon established a close collaboration, creating many joint lists in municipal and provincial elections. Between 1947 and 1954, a unitary action was hindered by the fact that the Slovene minority was split into two separate political realities, one in the Republic of Italy and the other in the [[Free Territory of Trieste]].

The SSk has taken part in nearly all general, regional and municipal elections in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since the [[1963 Italian general election|1963 general election]]. Beginning from the late 1960s, it frequently formed alliances with [[Christian Democracy (Italy)|Christian Democracy]]. Since its foundation, the SSk has maintained close relations with the [[South Tyrolean People's Party]] and the [[Valdostan Union]]. In the [[1992 Italian general election|1992 general election]] the SSk formed a joint list with the Valdostan Union, the [[Citizens' Union for South Tyrol|Union for South Tyrol]], the [[Sardinian Action Party]], and some smaller regional parties; this effort produced a seat in the [[Chamber of Deputies (Italy)|Chamber of Deputies]] and one in the [[Senate of the Republic (Italy)|Senate of the Republic]], but none of them was for the SSk.

Since the beginning of the so-called [[Second Italian Republic|Italian Second Republic]], the SSk has been in alliance with [[centre-left]] coalitions, such as [[The Olive Tree (political coalition)|The Olive Tree]], and had been an associate party of the [[Italian People's Party (1994)|Italian People's Party]], [[Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy]], and finally the [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]].

==Popular support and representation==
The party has been represented in the Regional Council from 1975 through 1993, and then again since 2003. In the [[2013 Friuli-Venezia Giulia regional election|2013 regional election]] the SSk won 1.4% of the vote (4.7% in the [[Province of Trieste]] and 2.8% in the [[Province of Gorizia]]), resulting in the re-election of its regional councillor.<ref>[http://elezioni2008.regione.fvg.it/elezReg.html Regione Autonoma Friuli-Venezia Giulia – Elezioni 2008<!-- Bot generated title -->] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515153600/http://elezioni2008.regione.fvg.it/elezReg.html |date=2008-05-15 ))</ref>

The party is particularly strong in rural areas on the border with [[Slovenia]] in the Provinces of Trieste and Gorizia. In the 2013 regional election it was the most voted party in the municipalities of [[Monrupino]] (55.9%), [[San Floriano del Collio]] (53.1%) and [[Savogna d'Isonzo]] (42.0%), and had a good showing also in [[San Dorligo della Valle]] (22.5%), [[Sgonico]] (22.2%), [[Doberdò del Lago]] (19.8%) and [[Duino-Aurisina]] (17.1%). Since the 2000s, the party has gathered some support also in the [[Province of Udine]], especially in the so-called [[Venetian Slovenia]]: in 2013 it garnered 19.4% of the vote in [[Drenchia]], 10.8% in [[Malborghetto Valbruna]], and 7.5% in [[Resia, Friuli|Resia]]. In big cities, the party reached 5.3% in [[Gorizia]] and 3.2% in [[Trieste]]. In the municipal and provincial elections of 2011, the candidates of the Slovene Union ran on the list of the [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]], except for the Provincial Council of Trieste, where they ran separately and gained 3.4% of the vote.<ref>((cite web |url=http://amministrative2011.regione.fvg.it/000313_Prov/Liste/000007.html |title=Elezioni Amministrative del 15 e 16 maggio 2011 - Provinciali - Risultati - Regione Autonoma Friuli-Venezia Giulia |access-date=2011-05-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110518231301/http://amministrative2011.regione.fvg.it/000313_Prov/Liste/000007.html |archive-date=2011-05-18 ))</ref>

==Media==
The party has an official newspaper, called ''Skupnost'' ("Community"). The weekly journal ''[[Novi glas]]'' ("The New Voice"), published in [[Gorizia]] by the [[Hermagoras Society]] is also generally supportive of the party's program, policies and ideology, although it is sometimes critical towards its actions.

==Prominent members==
Several public figures of the [[Slovene minority in Italy]] have been public supporters of the Slovene Union, including the authors [[Boris Pahor]] and [[Alojz Rebula]], historian [[Jože Pirjevec]], journalist, editor and historian [[Ivo Jevnikar]] and others.
