Liberal Democratic Alliance for Italy

Liberal Democratic Alliance for Italy (Alleanza Liberaldemocratica per l'Italia, ALI)[1] is a liberal-libertarian political party in Italy.

ALI was launched in November 2013 by some leading members of Act to Stop the Decline (FiD), who disagreed with the political line traced by Michele Boldrin, FiD's new leader. These included Oscar Giannino (who led FiD in the 2013 general election), Alessandro De Nicola and Silvia Enrico.[2][3] ALI's founders aimed at forming a joint list with Civic Choice (SC) for the 2014 European Parliament election and joining the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE).

On 26 November ALI and SC signed a pact of permanent consultation.[4] The party's founding convention, on 30 November, was attended by some leading members of SC, including Pietro Ichino and Enrico Zanetti, and endorsed by Graham Watson, ALDE president.[5]
