Autonomy Liberty Democracy (Autonomie Liberté Démocratie, ALD) was a centre-leftcoalition in Aosta Valley, Italy.[2] It took part to three Italian general elections and elected representatives in both houses of the Italian Parliament.
In the 2008 general electionAntonio Fosson (UV, VdA) defeated incumbent senator Perrin 41.4% to 37.4%,[5] while incumbent deputy Nicco narrowly defeated Ego Perron (UV, VdA) 39.1% to 37.8%.[6] Under a new electoral law, the coalition ran together also in the 2008 regional election. The alliance, comprising three party lists (the Democratic Party–PD, RV–VdAV and Rainbow Aosta Valley–AvdA), won a mere 27.4% of the vote, being severely defeated by the UV-led regionalist coalition, which won 62.0% of the vote and confirmed its stable majority in the Regional Council.[7]
In July 2015 and June 2016 the regional government, formed by the UV and SA, was enlarged to the PD[12] and the UVP,[13] respectively. In March 2017 the UVP, ALPE, SA and PNV formed a new government without the UV, under President Pierluigi Marquis (SA).[14][15][16][17] In October Marquis resigned and was replaced by L. Viérin (UVP) at the head of a coalition composed of the UV, the UVP, the PD and the Valdostan Autonomist Popular Edelweiss (EPAV),[18] the latter formed by a pro-UV group of splinters from SA who had not endorsed Marquis' government in the first place. In the run-up of the 2018 general election ALD was thus disbanded.
