History

PT was formed in July 2012 as a split, led by former regional minister Silvano Grisenti, from the Union for Trentino (UpT). [2] [3]

In the 2013 provincial election, the party supported Diego Mosna, entrepreneur and president of Trentino Volley, for president of Trentino. [4] Mosna was endorsed also by the Trentino Civic List, [5] Stop the Decline, Administer Trentino, Together for Autonomy and Autonomy 2020. Mosna won a 19.3% of the vote, coming a very distant second from Ugo Rossi of the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party, who was supported by the autonomist/centre-left coalition and garnered a landslide 58.1%. [6] However, PT emerged as the fourth largest political force of Trentino, by winning 9.0% of the vote (the UpT got 13.3%) [6] and four provincial councillors plus Mosna, who was elected as best-placed defeated candidate. [7] [6]

In December 2014, during the party's first congress, Marco Bettega was elected president to replace Mauro Dorigoni. [8]

In March 2015, Grisenti was convicted of corruption [9] [10] and, as a result, temporarily abandoned politics. [11] [12] The PT participated in the subsequent Trento municipal election in coalition with Lega Nord Trentino (LNT), Trentino Civic List (CT), Forza Italia and the Brothers of Italy: in the event, the party won 3.8% of the vote, less than most of its coalition parties. [13] [14]

In January 2016, during the party's second congress, Marino Simoni was elected as new president. [15] In April the PT signed a federative pact with the Populars for Italy (PpI), a minor Christian-democratic party represented in Parliament. [16] [17]

In the 2018 provincial election, the PT was part of the autonomist/centre-right coalition. Maurizio Fugatti of the LNT was elected president of Trentino and PT, with its 3.2%, was the coalition's third largest party. PT's Mario Tonina was appointed acting vice president by Fugatti, [18] after the death of CT's Rodolfo Borga (who was supposed to function as vice president, due to CT's 4.6% of the vote), Tonina's appointment became permanent. [18]

In March 2019, during the party's third congress, Grisenti was elected president. [19] [20]

In the 2023 provincial election, the party ran in a joint list with the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party and Popular Autonomists, in support of Fugatti's re-election. [21] [22] [23] In the election, Fugatti was re-elected and the autonomist joint list obtained 8.2% of the vote and three councillors, including Tonina.
