(Dis)ordine sovrano: Brexit e la sentenza Wightman

This article offers a reading of the recent Wightman case ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the revocation of a notification of an intention to withdraw from the EU under Article 50 TEU. The relevant aspects of this opinion show the ambiguity of the European Court on Brexit: on the one hand, the consecration of the sovereignty of the Member State, and on the other, the statement of EU as an ever closer Union. Both principles have, in the opinion of the author, the same aim: the safeguard of European Union. The Court with Wightman gives the first interpretation of art. 50 TEU on withdraw and, giving a constitutional interpretation of European Law, offers the opportunity to look again at the relation between secession and constitutional law. Giving to UK the right of revocation of the will of exit from EU, the Court offers also the opportunity to analyse the relation between secession and democracy and between democracy and majoritarianism.
