The separation referendum for a split between Terraferma and Estuario in 1994 occurred just 5 years after the previous referendum in 1989 and resulted in 44% “yes” votes, a slight increase compared to past votes.
Political Developments Leading up to 1994
The fact that this referendum occurred just 5 years after the previous 1989 referendum demonstrates a heightened momentum for a separation. A major shift in support for the separation came from the conservative political parties. This change showed that Estuario needed more representation in the government to meet their needs. Progressive parties however argued that that issues, such as tourism and lagoon pollution, were best solved as one city [1].
Results and Outcomes
The referendum saw 44% of people in favor of the split and 56% against it. From 1989, there was a 2% percent increase in people favoring the split [2]. The referendum did not lead to an official vote.
