The Humanist Party (Italian: Partito Umanista, PU) is a minor political party in Italy. Founded in 1984, the party is a member of the Humanist International.[1] It has never been represented in either the Italian Chamber of Deputies or the Italian Senate, the two houses of the Parliament of Italy.[citation needed]
Its long-time leader was Giorgio Schultze (secretary since 1996 to 2003), who is currently spokesman of the Humanist Movement in Europe.[2][3] In 2005, Marina Larena was elected new secretary of the party.[citation needed]
The party did not take part to the 2008 general election, but some Humanist activists ran as independents in the lists of The Left – The Rainbow and For the Common Good, both left-wing coalitions.[citation needed] In the 2009 European Parliament election, Schultze ran as a candidate for Italy of Values (IdV).[4] This choice was criticized by those who acknowledged the IdV's law and order policies over immigration.[citation needed]
In 2010, after a period of organizational difficulties, Tony Manigrasso was elected secretary of the party and he was reconfirmed also in 2012.[citation needed] In 2014, he was replaced by Valerio Colombo.[5] Subsequently, Giovanna Ubaldeschi was appointed secretary of the party.[citation needed]
