South Tyrolese People's Party

The South Tyrolese People's Party (German: Sdtiroler Volkspartei) was founded 1945 and is a political party in the South Tyrol region of Italy. It campaigns on a program of increased rights for German and Ladin-speakers in the South Tyrol region, which was annexed by Italy after the First World War, to some success - the province now has wide autonomy. From 1957 to 1991, Silvius Magnago was chairman of the party. From the first elections to the regional parliament (1948) the party has gained more then 50 percent and is also providing most of the 116 majors in South Tyrol. It the 2004 European Parliamentary Election the SVP formed an electoral grouping with the Olive Tree coalition, on the understanding that an SVP candidate would be included in the list elected if they could achieve more than 50,000 votes. In practice Michl Ebner gained 93,169 votes and was included in the list of MEPs.
