Political party in Italy
Civic Sardinia (Italian: Sardegna Civica, abbr. SC) was a regionalist political party active in Sardinia, led by Franco Cuccureddu.
History
At the end of 2018, Cuccureddu, who had previously been a leading member and deputy secretary of the Movement for the Autonomies,[1] as well as a regional councillor in 2009–2014,[2] launched the new party, within the centre-right coalition.[3]
The party participated in the 2019 Sardinian regional election,[4] in which Christian Solinas of the Sardinian Action Party was elected president of Sardinia, and obtained 1.6% of the vote and one seat, for Roberto Caredda,[5] a former member of Forza Italia and The People of Freedom.[6]
In the subsequent 2019 local elections, lists promoted by SC obtained 1.7% of the vote in Cagliari (in support of centre-right candidate Paolo Truzzu)[7] and 7.9% of the vote and six seats in Sassari (in support of Nanni Campus).[8] Both candidates backed by the party were elected. However, at the end of 2021, the party broke with the majority in Sassari and left the municipal government.[9][10]
In early 2020 SC, the Union of Sardinians (led by Antonio Nicolini) and Fortza Paris (led by Gianfranco Scalas) formed a joint political coordination,[11] that was short-lived.
In March 2022 Caredda left SC, launched a new party named Idea Sardinia, together with Carla Cuccu and Giovanni Antonio Satta,[12] splinters of the Five Star Movement and Sardinian Reformers respectively, and joined the opposition to the regional government.[13]
In July 2023 Cuccureddu launched a new party, Shared Horizon, and aligned it with the centre-left coalition.[14]
