Republican Progressive Democratic Front
Political party in Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republican Progressive Democratic Front (Italian: Fronte Democratico Progressista Repubblicano) was a political coalition in the Aosta Valley, formed ahead of the 1946 Italian Constituent Assembly election.[1] Aosta Valley had just been declared an autonomous province by the government of Italy to prevent a risk of annexation by De Gaulle's France, and a special FPTP electoral constituency was created. The Front obtained 21,853 votes (51.79%) of the votes in the Aosta Valley and won the sole seat of the constituency.[2] Giulio Bordon was the FDPR parliamentarian.[1] Bordon sat in the Autonomist group in the Constituent Assembly together with the Action Party.[3]
