Italy of the Centre

Italy of the Centre

Italy of the Centre ("Italia del Centro", IdC) is a small christian-democratic Italian political party, based in Central Italy and Southern Italy, especially in Abruzzo.

Its leader is Vincenzo Scotti, former Christian Democratic Minister of the Interior, and it counts 4 regional councillors: Giorgio De Matteis and Claudio Di Bartolomeo (Abruzzo), Antonio Milo (Campania), Antonio Flovilla (Basilicata).

The party contested the 2006 general election as Third Pole ("Terzo Polo"), independently from the two major coalitions and, in January 2008, it formed a political pact with Raffaele Lombardo's Movement for Autonomy, strong in Sicily. [ [http://www.mpa-italia.it/articolo.php?id=197 Raffaele Lombardo e Vincenzo Scotti presentano il nuovo Movimento - Movimento per l'Autonomia, MPA ] ] Tha plan is to create a net of regionalist christian-democratic parties.
