Autonomist Trentino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Autonomist Trentino (Trentino Autonomista, TA) is a regionalist christian-democratic Italian political party based in Trentino.
It was founded in 2002 by a split from the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (PATT) of those members who contested the party new alliance with the centre-left-coalition (in Trentino dominated by Democracy is Freedom – Daisy, DL). It is led by Carlo Andreotti, former PATT leader and former President of Trentino, and it is closely tied with Forza Italia.
In the last provincial elections of 2003, TA scored 2.2%. In that occasion Andreotti was the candidate for President of the centre-right and he was soundly defeated (60.8% to 30.7%) by incumbent Lorenzo Dellai (DL).[1]
