MVRA was launched in 1987 by two groups of splinters from Liga Veneta, one led by Geppino and Umberto Vecchiato and the other by Giulio Pizzati who had launched Liga Federativa Veneta (LFV) in 1983.[1] The party included also Flaminio De Poli, who had been one of the most outspoken independentist figures in Veneto so far and who had been particularly critical of the alliance between Liga Veneta and Lega Lombarda.[2][3][4]
In the 1992 general election MVRA gained 1.5% of the regional vote.[5][6]
By 2000 the party was merged into Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR). Pizzati's son, Lodovico, would later form other Venetist parties.
