The United Populars (Popolari Uniti) is a regional Christian-democratic political party based in Basilicata, Italy.
The party was founded in February 2008 by splinters from the UDEUR Populars who wanted to continue the alliance with centre-left The Union coalition. They included Antonio Potenza (regional minister), Gaetano Fierro and Luigi Scaglione, all three regional deputies of Basilicata, and several provincial and municipal ministers, including Carmine Nigro, President of the Province of Matera.
In the 2008 general election the party won 4.1% of the vote in Basilicata for the Senate.
In the 2010 regional election the party gained 5.9% of the vote and one regional councillor, Luigi Scaglione.
Famous quotes containing the word united:
“... when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everyone will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses were always hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon to-day has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
