Valdostan Rally (2023) Explained

The Valdostan Rally (Rassemblement Valdôtain, RV) is a conservative political party in Aosta Valley, Italy.

History

The party was formed in September 2023 by a group of splinters from Lega Vallée d'Aoste, including 4 out of 11 regional councillors of the party, of which they represented the conservative wing: Stefano Aggravi (leader), Dennis Brunod (deputy leader), Diego Lucianaz, and Dino Planaz. In its foundation charter, the RV aimed at "uniting Valdostans who believe in special autonomy, federalism, the preservation of our Valley's identity and traditions, the defense of individual liberties and our society's conservative values".[1] [2] In November 2023, the RV was organised as a full-fledged political party, with Aggravi secretary and Davide Bionaz president.[3] [4]

In the run-up of the 2024 European Parliament election in Italy, the party formed a pact with South calls North through the Freedom electoral list.[5] Under the agreement, the party ran with its own list, but, being a party representing one of the recognised linguistic minorities, concurred with the Freedom list in overcoming the 4% countrywide threshold.[6] In the event RV obtained 7.1% of the vote in Aosta Valley, while the combined countrywide result of Freedom and RV was 1.3%.
