Valdostan Alliance

The Valdostan Alliance (Alliance valdôtaine, AV) was a regionalist and progressive political party active in Aosta Valley, Italy.

The party was formed in 2019 by the merger of the Progressive Valdostan Union (UVP) and Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (ALPE). AV was soon involved in the Autonomies and Environment Pact (AeA) and the European Free Alliance (EFA).

In the 2020 regional election the party, in a joint list with Edelweiss (SA), obtained 8.9% of the vote and 4 seats: two for SA, one for UVP's Luigi Bertschy and one for ALPE's Albert Chatrian. After the election, the AV joined a regionalist/centre-left government led by Erik Lavévaz of the Valdostan Union (UV), comprising the UV, the Democratic Party (PD), Civic Network (RC), SA and Mouv'. Bertschy was appointed Vice President as well as minister of Economic Development, Formation and Labour, while SA's Carlo Marzi was minister of Finances, Innovation, Public Works and Land issues. AV and SA soon broke, with the former joining forces with United Aosta Valley, mainly comprising Mouv'.

In 2023 AV joined a new government led by UV's Renzo Testolin, which, differently from Lavévaz's, comprised also For Autonomy (PlA).

In late 2023 AV and Mouv' started a merging process into the UV. As of early AV was no longer a member of the European Free Alliance, which had been re-joined by the UV, and the AeA stated that UV could inherit AV's "founding member" status, if it joined.
