Schittulli Political Movement
Schittulli Political Movement (Italian: Movimento Politico Schittulli) is a political party in Italy active in Apulia, founded in 2009 by the surgeon Francesco Schittulli.
History[edit]
The party was launched in 2009 as electoral list for the candidacy of Francesco Schittulli to the presidency of the province of Bari. Schittulli, supported by the centre-right coalition, won the electoral competition with 50.05% of the vote, while the Schittulli Movement obtained 9.5% of the vote and 5 provincial councillors.[1]
In 2010 Schittulli organized his list into a full-fledged party.[2]
Schittulli was a candidate for president in the 2015 Apulian regional election, but after the political breaking between Raffaele Fitto and Silvio Berlusconi he was supported by only a part of the centre-right coalition (Schittulli Political Movement, Popular Area, Over with Fitto and Brothers of Italy), while Forza Italia supported the candidacy of Adriana Poli Bortone.[3] Finally, Schittulli finished third, behind Michele Emiliano (Democratic Party) and Antonella Laricchia (Five Star Movement), but surpassing the other centre-right candidate, Adriana Poli Bortone.[4] Schittulli obtained 18.29% of the vote, while his movement (in a single list with Popular Area) obtained 6.36% of the vote and 4 seats in the regional council.
In 2021 the Schittulli Movement enters into a political agreement with Us with Italy, with the prospect of presenting joint lists in local elections.[5]
