History

In July 2012 Franciscu Sedda and Ornella Demuru, husband and wife, [3] left Project Republic of Sardinia (ProgReS), a party they were instrumental to launch, over disagreements with the new party leadership and the rise of Michela Murgia, a writer who was headed to become the party's candidate in the 2014 regional election. [4] [5] In July 2013 Sedda launched the PdS along with Paolo Maninchedda, a splinter from the Sardinian Action Party (PSd'Az). At the party's first congress Sedda declared: "Let's start to think and act as a state and a nation, and self-determination will come, maybe not today, but much sooner than we think". The PdS, which long sought an alliance with the centre-left led by the Democratic Party (PD), [6] was welcomed in the coalition, along with the Red Moors and Independence Republic of Sardinia (iRS).

In the 2014 regional election the party won 2.7% of the vote and two regional councillors. [7] In December 2017 Sedda and Maninchedda exchanged leadership roles: the former, who used to be secretary, became president, while the latter, who used to be president, became secretary. [8]

In the 2019 regional election the PdS ran alone with Maninchedda as its candidate for president. [9] They obtained 3.7% and 3.4%, respectively, thus, even though that was an improvement from five years before, the party fell short of entering the Regional Council again as the threshold was at 4% for parties outside big coalitions. After the election, Sedda resigned from president. [10]

In late 2022 the party was basically replaced by "Sardinian Nation – Justice and Liberty" (reference to Giustizia e Libertà ). [11] Since mid 2023 the party's website was no longer active. [12] The new party joined the regionalist coalition led by Renato Soru in the 2024 Sardinian regional election. [13]
