Politics of Aosta Valley Political parties Elections |
The Progressive Valdostan Union (French: Union Valdôtaine Progressiste, UVP) is a centre-left political party active in the Aosta Valley, Italy. Its leading members are Luciano Caveri, Laurent Viérin, Alessia Favre and Luigi Bertschy (president).
History
The party emerged in January 2013 as a split from the Valdostan Union (UV), similarly to what had happened forty years before with the historical UVP. Over the years the UV had become more acquainted with the centre-right and this caused the exit of three regional councillors (Luciano Caveri, Laurent Viérin and Andrea Rosset), who launched the UVP on 4 January 2013.[2] In the 2013 general election Vierin missed the election to the Chamber of Deputies for less than 200 votes.[3]
In the 2013 regional election UVP obtained 19.2% of the vote and 7 seats in the Regional Council.[4]
In March 2016, during its congress, the party elected Luigi Bertschy to succeed to Alessia Favre as president.[5][6][7][8] As of May, the UVP is headed toward a réunion with the UV, whose first step will be the party's entry in the regional government.[9]
