History

The PpA was founded as an association in 2015 and became a full-fledged party in 2017.[2] Its founders were local administrators of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, including Massimo Moretuzzo (mayor of Mereto di Tomba) and Markus Maurmair (mayor of Valvasone Arzene), who were soon elected as the party's secretary and president, respectively. A leading role was played also by Sergio Cecotti, founding member of Lega Nord Friuli-Venezia Giulia, president of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in 1995–1996 and mayor of Udine in 1998–2008.

In the 2018 regional election the PpA, with Cecotti as candidate for president, obtained 4.1% of the vote and two seats in the Regional Council.

In the 2023 regional election Moretuzzo was the joint candidate of the autonomist / centre-left coalition: he was defeated by incumbent president Massimiliano Fedriga of Lega FVG, but the PpA won 6.3% of the vote and had four councillors elected, plus Moretuzzo.
