Politics of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol Political parties Elections

The party was formed in 1983 and, the same year, its founder Ezio Anesi [it] was elected provincial deputy for the Italian Republican Party. In 1992, Anesi was elected to the Italian Senate for the Italian Socialist Party.^[2][3]

After the disappearance of the so-called First Republic parties, including the Socialists, the UAL formed an alliance with the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (PATT) at the provincial level and with The Olive Tree (l'Ulivo) at the national level.^{[citation needed]} Under these agreements, Anesi was elected to the Provincial Council in 1993 from the PATT slate, while Detomas represented UAL in the Chamber of Deputies from 1996 to 2006.^{[citation needed]}

Since the introduction in 2003 of a seat for the Ladin minority,^[specify] the UAL has always prevailed.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2013 provincial election it won 1.1% of the vote (51.8% in Fassa Falley).^[4]

In the 2015 Fassa community elections, the party was defeated by the Fassa Association,^[5] the first time since the introduction of valley communities in 2006.

In the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum, the UAL supported the Yes.^[6]
