Popular Democrats

The Popular Democrats (Democratici Popolari, DP) was a Christian-leftist Italian political party active in the Aosta Valley of Italy.

Its leading members included Cesare Dujany, Maurizio Martin and Angelo Pollicini.

Subsequently Popular Democrat leader Cesare Dujany became President of the Region at the head of a coalition composed of the Italian Socialist Party, the Valdostan Rally and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party.

After the election Dujany was again President of the Region, this time with the support of the Socialists and the Progressive Valdostan Union (UVP), but in 1974 he resigned and the Valdostan Union returned in government.

After a decline in term of votes (11.8% in 1978), DP joined forces with UVP in the 1983 regional election, winning 10.4%.
