Pact for Autonomy

The Pact for Autonomy (Italian: Patto per l'Autonomia, Friulian: Pat pe Autonomie, Slovene: Pakt za Avtonomijo, German: Pakt für die Autonomie, PpA) is a regionalist and social-liberal political party in Friuli-Venezia Giulia that aims to defend the regional autonomy and protect all linguistic minorities present in the region (Friulian, German and Slovene).

The party is a member of the European Free Alliance and of the Autonomies and Environment Pact.

[2] Its founders were local administrators of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, including Massimo Moretuzzo (mayor of Mereto di Tomba) and Markus Maurmair (mayor of Valvasone Arzene), who were soon elected as the party's secretary and president, respectively.

A leading role was played also by Sergio Cecotti and Roberto Visentin,[3][4] both founding members of Lega Nord Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the former president of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in 1995–1996 and mayor of Udine in 1998–2008.

[8] In the 2023 regional election, Moretuzzo was the joint candidate of the autonomist / centre-left coalition: he was defeated by incumbent president Massimiliano Fedriga of Lega FVG, but the PpA won 6.3% of the vote and had four councillors elected, plus Moretuzzo.
