The North-East Union (Unione Nord-Est) was a Venetist political party active in Veneto.
The party was formed in 1996 by splinters from Liga Veneta– Lega Nord led by Adriano Bertaso, a regional councillor. [1] In the 1996 general election the party won 2.0% of the vote for the Chamber of Deputies, by running only in the Verona– Padua– Vicenza– Rovigo constituency (3.4%), [2] and 2.6% for the Senate. [3] In 1999 Bertaso led the Union into the Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR) of Fabrizio Comencini, but soon after left it and re-organized his party, which is currently a minor political force in Veneto.
In the 2004 provincial election the party was revived and won 1.9% of the vote in Verona. [4] [5] In 2009 the UNE gained 1.8%. [4]
In the 2010 regional election the party supported the candidacy of Antonio De Poli ( UDC) for President. The UNE logo was used as common symbol of the joint Venetist list formed by the UNE, North-East Project (PNE), Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR) and Venetian Agreement (IV). [6] The list won 1.5% of vote regionally, with peaks of 1.9% and 1.8% in the provinces of Treviso and Belluno, and Mariangelo Foggiato (PNE) was elected to the Council. [7]
In the 2011 provincial election of Treviso the UNE won 2.4% of the vote and the PNE lost all its provincial councillors. [8]
In the run-up of the 2015 regional election the PNE, the LVR and other Venetist parties formed a joint list named Independence We Veneto, a sort of re-edition of 2010's UNE, but with a separatist platform and in support of Luca Zaia, incumbent President of Veneto and candidate of Liga Veneta–Lega Nord. [9] [10] [11] The UNE joined forces with Flavio Tosi, a former leader of Liga Veneta, and his Tosi List for Veneto instead, [12] but obtained a mere 0.6% of the vote and no seats in the Council.
