History

In late 2023 AV and Mouv' started a merging process into the Valdostan Union (UV).[8] [9] [10] [11] As of early AV was no longer a member of the European Free Alliance, which had been re-joined by the UV,[12] and the AeA stated that UV could inherit AV's "founding member" status, if it joined.[13]

In the 2024 European Parliament election, SSk sided with the South Tyrolean People's Party which itself is allied to the centre-right Forza Italia,[14] while UV decided to not participate in the election citing the electoral system.[15] United Romagna got a candidate on the Action list.[16]
