Popular Liberalism

Popular Liberalism

Popular Liberalism ("Liberalismo Popolare") is a faction within the Forza Italia political party which wants to combine liberal and christian-democratic values.

The group is basically composed by those Liberals (former members of the Italian Liberal Party, PLI), who decided to join Forza Italia after PLI's disbandment in 1994. The faction was founded in December 2002 by six Forza Italia's MPs: three former Liberals (Alfredo Biondi, Raffaele Costa and Valter Zanetta) and three former Christian Democrats with a liberal streak (Roberto Rosso, Renzo Patria and Benedetto Nicotra) and has circles (the so-called "Citizen's Houses") all around Italy, but especially in Piedmont, home-region of Costa, Zanetta, Rosso and Patria.

In October 2007 some members formed the Liberal-Popular Union along with leading former Christian Democrats.
