Convergence for Friuli

Convergence for Friuli

Convergence for Friuli (Convergence pal Friûl, Convergenza per il Friuli, CpF) is an green-centrist regionalist political party active in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Its leader is Sergio Cecotti, mayor of Udine.

Sergio Cecotti was elected mayor of Udine in 1998 for Lega Nord, of which he was a long-time member, and governed the city with the support of some citizens' lists and the Federation of the Greens. In 2003 he left that party over disagreements with party leadership and was re-elected mayor with the support of his new "Convergence for Udine" (CpU) list, other citizens' lists and the centre-left.

On 14 February 2007 Cecotti decided to transform CpU into a regional party. Convergence for Friuli was formed by former members of Lega Nord (Sergio Cecotti, Enzo Bassi), former Greens (Franco Corleone) and Radicals (Mario Puiatti). Convergence is closely linked with the liberal-green The Dove for Friuli party, led by Franco Corleano, he himself both a former Radical and Green, and Friuli Movement, a historical regionalist party.

Convergence is a keen supporter of autonomy for Friuli and of the teaching of Friulian language. Among other things it is in favour of first-past-the-post for the election of regional councillors[1]. Currently it is member of the centre-left coalition supporting Riccardo Illy as President of the Region.

The party is represented in the Regional Council of Friuli-Venezia Giulia by Mario Puiatti, elected in 2003 for the Greens.
