History

ADU emerged in 2019 from the left-wing split of Civic Commitment, which had obtained 7.5% of the vote and three seats in the 2018 regional election. The party's early leader was Daria Pulz, who had directed the Historical Institute of Resistance and Contemporary Society in Aosta Valley before entering into politics and being elected to the Regional Council. [2]

In the 2020 regional election the party was excluded from the ballot for technical reasons. [3]

In the 2022 general election the party was a founding member of Open Aosta Valley (VdAA), along with Democratic Area – Autonomist Left (AD–GA), the Five Star Movement (M5S) and Italian Left (SI), [4] the latter forming a federative pact with ADU. [5] The coalition obtained 10.9% of the vote for the Chamber of Deputies, with AD–GA's Erika Guichardaz as candidate, and 10.0% of the vote for the Senate, with Daria Pulz as candidate. Later, SI broke with ADU and established the Greens and Left Alliance also in Aosta Valley.

In the 2025 regional election VdAA, composed of ADU, AD–GA and M5S, obtained 5.6% of the vote and no seats; Guichardaz and Pulz were the most voted candidates. [6]
