The Free Group (Freie Fraktion, abbreviated FF) is a regionalist and conservative political party in South Tyrol.
The party, which is part of the South Tyrolean independence movement, seeks to represent the German-speaking majority and Ladin-speaking minority in the province.
FF took inspiration from the Free Voters of Bavaria, a similar movement active in the German state.
[1][2][3] The party, active mainly as a parliamentary group in the Landtag of South Tyrol, was founded in March 2024 by Andreas Leiter Reber, a longstanding member of Die Freiheitlichen (dF), who opposed its party's support to the SVP-led government of Arno Kompatscher.
