Progressive Party (Sardinia)
The Progressive Party (, PP) is a progressive political party active in Sardinia, led by Massimo Zedda, a former mayor of Cagliari. History
The party was founded on 3 March 2017 as the Sardinian branch of Progressive Camp, a political party led nationally by Giuliano Pisapia. The main founders of the Sardinian Progressive Camp were Roberto Capelli (a deputy elected with the Democratic Centre) and Luciano Uras (a senator affiliated with Italian Left). When at the end of 2017 Pisapia's political party disbanded, the Sardinian section of Progressive Camp maintained its autonomy and continued to exist. Uras was appointed president of the regional party. For the 2019 regional election the centre-left coalition nominated Massimo Zedda, a member of Progressive Camp, as a candidate for president. Eventually, Zedda lost to centre-right challenger Christian Solinas, while Progressive Camp got 3.2% of the vote and two seats. On 22 November 2019, Uras and Giuseppe Verona resigned as party president and treasurer respectively. The party subsequently changed its name to Sardinian Progressives () and its leadership was taken over by Zedda. In December 2021 the adhesion campaign to the constituent phase of the Progressive Party () was launched, and a meeting of the regional promoting committee, convened and coordinated by Zedda, took place. In the 2022 general election, thanks to an electoral pact with the Greens and Left Alliance, PP's Francesca Ghirra was elected to the Chamber of Deputies. Electoral results
