The Democratic Populars (Popolari Democratici) was a tiny Christian-Democratic political party based in Campania, Italy. It was led by Pietro Squeglia, a former deputy for the Italian People's Party and The Daisy.[1]

History

[edit]

It was founded in February 2008 by splinters from the Union of Democrats for Europe who wanted to continue the alliance with centre-left The Union coalition. The party was joined by Nicola Caputo, Vittorio Insigne and Giuseppe Maisto, all three regional councillors of Campania, and several provincial and municipal ministers.[2]

In 2010 the party joined the Alliance for Italy, a new party founded by Francesco Rutelli.[3]
