Popular Autonomists

The Popular Autonomists (Italian: Autonomisti Popolari, AP) are regionalist, autonomist and Christian-democratic political party in Trentino, Italy.[1]

The party was formed in 2017 by Walter Kaswalder,[2][3] after his ejection from the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party.[4][5][6][7][8]

In the 2018 provincial election the AP were part of the autonomist centre-right coalition, led by Maurizio Fugatti of Lega Nord Trentino, who was elected President of Trentino. For its part, the AP won 3.0% of the vote and Kaswalder was re-elected to the Provincial Council, of which he was elected President.[9][10]
