Venetian Left (Venetian: Sanca Veneta, SV) is a social-democratic and green political party in Veneto, embracing pro-Europeanism, internationalism, as well as Venetian nationalism and separatism.[1][2] Its first leaders were Matteo Visonà Dalla Pozza[citation needed] and Giovanni Masarà.[3] Its current leaders are Antonella Muzzolon[4] and Matteo Visonà Dalla Pozza.[5] The party is a member of the European Free Alliance Youth (EFAY).[6]
History
[edit]During a Venetist demonstration in Bassano del Grappa in December 2013, a group of left-leaning Venetists occasionally met and decided to start SV,[2] which was officially founded as a full-fledged party in July 2015.
In the run-up of the 2017 autonomy referendum SV has been quite involved in campaigning, especially through "VIVA – Centre/Left Committee for the Autonomy of Veneto",[7] which included the regional councillor Cristina Guarda[7] as well as minor members of the Democratic Party.[8] The party has celebrated both Liberation Day and the Feast of Saint Mark, patron of Veneto, in Venice on 25 April, every year.[9]
In 2018 SV member Andrea Cordioli[10][11] ran at the head of the Borgo Libero list in the municipal election of Villafranca di Verona.[12][better source needed] The list obtained 4.0% of the vote[13] and Cordioli was elected councillor.[14]
Masarà was one of EFAY vice presidents until 2019[15] when, as part of the renewal of the bureau, he was replaced by former Sanca co-leader Andrea Mion[16] and later Diego Cavallaro.[17]
SV took part to the 2020 Venetian regional election[18] within the centre-left coalition supporting independent professor Arturo Lorenzoni for President of Veneto and obtained 0.1% of the vote.[19] Lorenzoni himself was defeated by Luca Zaia, the incumbent President hailing from the rival Liga Veneta party, 76.8% to 15.7%.[19]
