The Progressive Valdostan Union (French: Union Valdôtaine Progressiste, UVP) was a centre-left political party active in the Aosta Valley, Italy. Leading members were Laurent Viérin, Luigi Bertschy and Giuliano Morelli.
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] The party's first president was Claudio Brédy, who was succeeded by Alessia Favre in 2014.
In the 2013 general election Viérin obtained 25.1% of the vote and 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 as new president.[5][6][7][8] The following June, after months of negotiations, the UVP joined the regional government led by UV's Augusto Rollandin,[9][10] with Viérin minister of Health,[11] fueling rumors of a re-unification with the UV. The move was opposed by Caveri and Brédy, who left the party in protest.[12][13] In August also Elso Gérandin, regional councillor and former deputy floor leader, left the party.[14][15] Caveri, Brédy and Gérandin later launched an alternative centre-left party named Mouv',[16][17] which would be later joined by Rosset and two dissident regional councillors of the Five Star Movement (M5S).[18]
However, in March 2017 the UVP left the government and, along with Edelweiss (SA), Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (ALPE) and For Our Valley (PNV), formed a new government without the UV, under President Pierluigi Marquis (SA), with Viérin Vice President and minister of Agriculture and Bertschy minister of Health.[19][20][21][22]
The following June, during a congress, the UVP elected Elisa Bonin as its new president.[23][24] Bonin re-launched the proposal of a new joint autonomist party, formed primarily by the UV and the UVP,[25][26] while criticising ALPE.[27] In October Marquis resigned and was replaced by UVP's Viérin at the head of a coalition composed of the UV, the UVP (two ministers: Bertschy at Health and Alessandro Nogara at Agriculture), the Valdostan Autonomist Popular Edelweiss (EPAV) and the PD.[28]
In the
In February 2019 Giuliano Morelli, whose political program featured the formation of a joint autonomist party, was elected as UVP's new president.[35][36][37][38] Consistently with the line traced by Morelli, two months later the UVP formed a joint group with ALPE named "Valdostan Alliance".[39]
