Moderates for Piedmont

Moderates for Piedmont (Moderati per il Piemonte) is a regional centrist Italian political party active in Piedmont. Its leader is Giacomo Portas (ex-FI).

It was founded in January 2006, basically by former members of Forza Italia (FI) and is part of the centre-left coalition which governs the Region and a close ally of the Democratic Party (PD). In fact, the party has four members of the Regional Council of Piedmont: Giuliano Manolino (ex-FI), Giovanni Pizzale (ex-IdV), Mauro Laus (ex-PD) and Graziella Valloggia (ex-PRC).[1]

In the 2007 municipal elections, Moderates scored 4% in both Turin and Cuneo, 8% in Grugliasco and 10% in Moncalieri. In the 2008 general election Giacomo Portas was elected to the Chamber of Deputies as independent in list of the PD in Piedmont 1 constituency[2][3]

In 2009 provincial elections Moderates won 2.7% in the Province of Turin, 2.1% in Alessandria, 1.7% in Cuneo and 0.8% in Novara.[4]

In the 2010 regional election Moderates won 3.1% of the vote at the regional level and 4.1% in the Province of Turin, where Michele Dell'Utri was elected regional councillor.[5]

In the 2011 Turin municipal election Moderates gained a sweeping 9.1% of the vote and four councillors, being crucial for the election of Democrat Piero Fassino as mayor.[6]
