The Popular Construction (Template:Lang-it, CP) is a centre-right political party in Italy.
The CP was launched in January 2012 as a coalition of parties. The Populars of Italy Tomorrow (PID), a Sicilian-based Christian-democratic emerged in 2010 as a split from the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC), was the coalition's main component. Other members included Popular Action (AP), the Christian Movement of Workers (MCL) and the Extended Christian Pact (PACE).[1] Francesco Saverio Romano, leader of the PID, went on to lead also the CP.
In the 2012 Sicilian regional election the CP won 5.9% of the vote and four regional deputies.[2]
In 2013 CP became an associate party of The People of Freedom (PdL)[3][4] and in the 2013 general election the party had a few elects from PdL's lists. The CP confirmed its alignment also when the PdL was transformed into Forza Italia (FI). However, in 2015 the CP joined forces with the Liberal Popular Alliance (ALA) in support of the Renzi Cabinet.
In the run-up of the 2017 regional election the CP returned into the centre-right's fold and teamed up with the Party of the Sicilians under the banner of "Populars and Autonomists".[5][6][7] The list won 7.1% of the vote, obtained six regional deputies and entered the regional government led by Nello Musumeci, the newly-elected President of Sicily.[8] Consequently, the CP broke with the ALA and was set to be part of the centre-right coalition in the 2013 general election.
