Autonomist Democrats


The Autonomist Democrats were a social-democratic and liberal electoral list for the 2008 Sicilian regional election.
Its leading members included Maurizio Ballistreri, a former regional deputy for the Italian Democratic Socialists now leading member of the social-democratic faction within the Movement for Autonomy, and Salvatore Grillo, deputy secretary of the Italian Liberal Party.
The list won 3.8% of the vote, thus failing to surpass the 5% electoral threshold.
In May 2009 the party joined the Union of the Centre.
