The Savoyan League (French: Ligue savoisienne, Arpitan: Liga de la Savouè) is a regionalist and populist political party based in Savoy, France.[1]
Founded in 1993, the party supports the independence of Savoy from France and the unification of the two departments of Savoy, named Savoie and Haute-Savoie, which have belonged to France since the Treaty of Turin in 1860.[1][2] Formerly a member of the European Free Alliance,[3] the party is generally pro-European in outlook,[4] while lying on the right of the political spectrum.[5] The League co-operates with the Savoy Region Movement, which does not support independence but rather federalism and Savoyard autonomism.
In the 1998 regional elections, the League won 5.39% in Savoy (4.42% in Savoie and 6.05% in Haute-Savoie) and therefore won a seat in the Rhône-Alpes Regional Council.[2] It did not participate in the 2004 regional elections. The party, however, holds one village, Margencel.
