Sicilian People's Movement

Last updated

The Sicilian People's Movement (Movimento Popolare Siciliano, MPS) was a regional centrist political party active in Sicily, Italy. It was founded in 2012 by the merge of Allied for Sicily (Alleati per la Sicilia, ApS) and some civic associations. [1] [2] [3] Riccardo Savona was elected president of the party. [4] ApS was in turn formed in May 2011 by former members of PdL, UDC and PD in support of Raffaele Lombardo's regional government. The party, which at its foundation counted 6 regional deputies, was a close ally of the Movement for the Autonomies. [5] [6] [7] [8]

Contents

In the 2012 Sicilian regional election the party formed a joint list with the local section of Future and Freedom in support of the "Sicilianist" bid of Gianfranco Micciché (Great South and Party of Sicilians). The list obtained 4.4% of the vote and no regional deputies, as it did not pass the 5% threshold. [9] [10]

However, the leader of MPS Riccardo Savona was candidated among the ranks of the Great South party and was eventually elected. [11] [12]
