  • Italy Is Popular (Italian: L'Italia è Popolare, IP) is a Christian-democratic political party active in Italy.[1]

    History[edit]

    IP was launched as a split from the Union of the Centre (UdC) in November 2017 by Giuseppe De Mita, nephew of Ciriaco De Mita, a former leader of Christian Democracy and Prime Minister of Italy during 1980s. For the 2017 Sicilian regional election the UdC re-joined the centre-right coalition at the regional level.[2] Giuseppe De Mita criticised the decision, was relinquished as UdC's deputy secretary,[3] and, along with his uncle Ciriaco and Marco Follini, launched IP.[4][5]

    In December IP formed the Popular Civic List (CP), a centrist electoral list within the centre-left coalition, along with Popular Alternative (AP), Italy of Values (IdV), the Centrists for Europe (CpE), Solidary Democracy (DemoS), the Union for Trentino (UpT) and minor parties/groups. Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin was chosen as leader.[6][7][8]

    In the 2018 general election CP obtained a mere 0.5% and no seats, except for a handful of elects in single-seat constituencies. De Mita was defeated in the single-seat constituency of Ariano Irpino, where he came third.[9]
