Ladins Dolomites
Ladins Dolomites is a minor political party representing the Ladin-speaking minority in South Tyrol.History
The party, whose original name was Ladins Political Movement, was founded in the early 1990s by Carlo Willeit, who led it in the 1993 provincial election and in 1998 provincial election. After that, the party failed to have any elects both in the 2003 and 2008 elections. In 2008, the party took its current name.
In the 2013 provincial election LD ran within a three-party list, along with the Citizens' Union for South Tyrol and We South Tyroleans. The coalition won 2.1% of the vote and Andreas Pöder, leader of the Citizens' Union, was its sole elect to the Provincial Council. In Ladin areas the coalition did worse than LD alone in 2008.
