The Alliance of Progressives (Italian: Alleanza dei Progressisti ), also known as simply the Progressives (Progressisti),[1][2] was a centre-left[3][4] to left-wing[2][5] political and electoral alliance of political parties in Italy formed in 1994. The leader of the alliance was Achille Occhetto.[6]
History
The Alliance suffered a huge defeat in the 1994 general election by the Pole of Freedoms/Pole of Good Government centre-right coalitions led by Silvio Berlusconi. For the 1996 general election the Alliance was succeeded by The Olive Tree coalition, which included the Italian People's Party (diminished by the split of the United Christian Democrats in 1995), Italian Renewal and Segni Pact, and excluding the Communist Refoundation Party,[4] which was an external ally and presented its candidates under the "Progressives" banner in single-seat constituencies in Central Italy.
