Populars for Italy (Popolari per l'Italia, PpI) is a Christian-democratic political party in Italy led by Mario Mauro, minister of Defence in Letta Cabinet and long-time MEP for Forza Italia.
The party was launched in November 2013, following a split from Civic Choice.[2] It constitutes joint parliamentary groups named For Italy with the Union of the Centre (UdC) and is part of Enrico Letta's government.[3] According to party leaders, PpI will soon merge with the UdC to form a new "centrist" party.[1]
The party was officially founded on 28 January 2014. In the meantime, Mauro was appointed president.[4][5]
