List di Pietro - Italy of the Values (Lista di Pietro - Italia dei Valori)

by Marcus Schmöger, 7 August 2002

"Lista di Pietro - Italia dei Valori" (List di Pietro - Italy of the Values <www.antoniodipietro.org>) - This is another "one-man band" party, founded and led by Antonio di Pietro, former public prosecutor in Milano. As such, di Pietro was one of the protagonists in the so-called "Mani pulite" (clean hands) action against the widespread corruption in politics and economics (involving, inter alia, former prime minister Bettino Craxi and current prime minister Silvio Berlusconi). Di Pietro and his group first took part in the foundation of the "Democratici" of Prodi, but later became independent again. They did not ally themselves with the center-left coalition for the 2001 elections, but presented their own list.
