Fortza Paris (English: Forward Together) is a regionalist, [1] Sardinian nationalist and mainly Christian-democratic [1] political party in Sardinia.

Contents

The party was established in 2004 at the merger of the Sardinian People's Party (PPS) – splinter group of the Italian People's Party and briefly regional section of the United Christian Democrats –, Sardistas and Unity of Sardinian People. [2] [3] [4] Its self-proclaimed ideology comprises "all what the 20th Century had it good", including Christian democracy, liberalism, social democracy and federalism. [5]

History

In the 2004 regional election FP, within the centre-right coalition, won 4.6% of the vote and three regional councillors. [6] In the 2005 provincial elections FP's secretary Pasquale Onida was elected president of the province of Oristano, where the party's share reached 11.4%.

In the 2008 general election party leader Silvestro Ladu was an unsuccessful candidate for The People of Freedom (PdL) for the Senate. [7] Later that year, several FP members, including Onida, Ladu and other two regional councillors (one coming from the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats) joined the PdL, while a minority, led by president Gianfranco Scalas, did not. [8] [9]

In the 2009 regional election FP won 2.2% in a joint list with the regional section of the Movement for Autonomies (a Sicilian-based party), but neither Scalas nor any other party members were elected to the Regional Council. However, two FP dissidents, Domenico Gallus and Renato Lai, who stood for the PdL, did get in. Later that year a former member of FP, Adriano Aversano, launched Lega Sarda, that aimed at becoming the Sardinian "national section" of Lega Nord. [10] In fact, in that very year the federal leadership of Lega Nord supported the creation of Lega Nord Sardinia. [11] [12]

In the 2010 provincial elections the party was able to field candidates in only half of Sardinian provinces and suffered a general decline in term of votes, except in its stronghold province of Oristano, where it won 9.9% of the vote. [13]

In the 2014 regional election the party won a mere 0.7% of the vote and no regional councillors. [14]

In the 2019 regional election the party won 1.6% within and obtained one seat in the Regional Council. [15]

In the run-up of the 2024 regional election the party switched sides and affiliated with the centre-left coalition, [15] obtaining 0.9% of the vote and no seats in the Regional Council.
