Popular Agreement


Popular Agreement was a small political party in Italy led by Giampiero Catone.

History

Popular Agreement was founded in November 2012 by the deputy Giampiero Catone, member of the centre-right parliamentary group People and Territory. The party was born from the merger of 12 small political parties and associations: the clubs "La Discussione", the Democratic Alliance, the Christian Democracy – Third Pole of the Centre, the Rebirth of Christian Democracy, the Italian Christian Democrats, the Libertarian Right, The Lotus, The Tulip, the Christian League, the Italian Movement Young Europeans, the Party of the Land and the Italian Catholic Pole. The party was also joined by Giuseppe Trieste, that was appointed National President of the party, Vittorio Sgarbi and Stefano Tacconi.
Popular Agreement presented itself as the Catholic component of the centre-right coalition. The party participated in the general election of 2013 within the centre-right coalition led by Silvio Berlusconi, but it only received 0.08% of the vote and it didn't elect any MP.
