Progressive Valdotanian Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Progressive Valdotanian Union (Union Valdôtaine Progressiste, UVP) was a social-democratic Italian political party active in Aosta Valley.

It emerged in 1973 as a split from the Valdotanian Union and won 6.7% of the vote in that year’s regional election. After a decline in term of votes (3.1% in 1978), UVP joined forces with the Popular Democrats in the the 1983 regional election, winning 10.4%. In 1984 the two parties merged to form the Autonomists Democrats Progressives.
