Stop the Decline (Fermare il Declino, FiD) is a liberal-libertarian political association in Italy, which participated in the 2013 general election as Act to Stop the Decline[3] (Fare per Fermare il Declino).[4]
FiD was launched in July 2012 by a group of seven economists: Oscar Giannino, Michele Boldrin, Sandro Brusco, Alessandro De Nicola, Andrea Moro, Carlo Stagnaro and Luigi Zingales.[5][6][7] The manifesto of the association was signed by 240 personalities and, as of May 2013, has attracted more than 70,000 signatures.[8]
The core goals of FiD include the reduction of the national debt by 20% of GDP in 5 years, the reduction of the public expenditure by at least 6% of GDP in 5 years, the reduction of the tax burden on citizens by at least 5% in 5 years, the introduction of a serious federalism, university reform, liberalizations and privatizations.[9]
On 8 December 2012 it was announced that the association would run an electoral list in the 2013 general election.[10][11] In the election, held in February 2013, the party obtained 1.2%, returning no seats.[12]
