Fassa Association (Associazione Fassa), often referred simply as Fassa, is a minor Christian-democratic [1] political party in Trentino, Italy. The party seeks to represent the Ladin minority [1] in the Province and especially Ladins living in Fassa Valley.
Fassa was formed as Fassa List (Lista Fassa) in August 2008 as a centre-right alternative to the centre-left Ladin Autonomist Union (UAL), [2] which used to garner a large majority of Ladin votes in Fassa Valley. Its first leader was Gino Fontana, mayor of Vigo di Fassa and, formerly, provincial councillor for Daisy Civic List, a centrist party aligned with the so-called "regionalist centre-left". [3] A year later, the List was institutionalised and became a fully fledged party under the current name. [2]
In the 2008 provincial election, the party won 0.6% of the vote (26.6% in Fassa Valley). [4]
In March 2012, Elena Testor was elected president of the party and Luca Guglielmi secretary. [5] In September 2013, Riccardo Franceschetti, mayor of Moena and leading member of the UAL, left his party to join Fassa. [6]
In the 2013 provincial election, the party won 0.8% of the vote (31.9% in Fassa Valley). [7]
In the 2015 Fassa community election, the party prevailed over the UAL and Testor was elected Procuradora (President of the Fassa community). [8] [9]
In the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum, Fassa supported the No, [10] which won with 57.9% of the votes in the Fassa valley. [11] [ failed verification ]
In the 2018 general election, Testor affiliated to Forza Italia, [12] and was elected to the Italian Senate from the single-seat constituency of Pergine Valsugana. [13] [14] In 2019 Armando Mich was elected new party president, succeeding to Testor. [15]
The party confirmed its representation in the Provincial Council both in the 2018 provincial election (1.0% of the vote and 38.9% in Fassa Valley) and the 2023 provincial election (0.9% of the vote and 42.3% in Fassa Valley) .
