A veteran of Christian-democratic politics and parties, Rotondi has been associated with the centre-right coalition in different capacities.
In the 2023 Molise regional election, held in June, Rotondi's followers formed a joint list with the Union of the Centre (UdC) and Us of the Centre,[1] obtaining 3.5% of the vote and no seats.
In October 2023, during a convention in Saint-Vincent, Aosta Valley, Rotondi officially launched the DCR.
[2] The party, whose leader was a member of the Chamber of Deputies for Brothers of Italy, also formed a federative pact with the New Italian Socialist Party (NPSI),[3] with which Green is Popular was already allied in the Regional Council of Campania.
The DCR ran in a joint list with the UdC (and United Populars) also in the 2024 Basilicata regional election, obtaining 2.5% of the vote and no seats.
