èViva (in English: It is alive) was an Italian left-wing^[1] political party.

History

èViva was founded by Francesco Laforgia (member of Article One) and Luca Pastorino (member of Possible) on 13 April 2019. The name of the movement has been chosen via an online-poll.^[2]

For the 2019 European Parliament election èViva joins the electoral alliance The Left, with Italian Left, Communist Refoundation and the Party of the South. The Left, that joined the GUE/NGL group, got only the 1.8%, without exceeding the 4%-barrier-threshold, so it didn't get any seat.

For the 2020 regional election èViva joined many lists: in Tuscany "Tuscany to the Left" to support Tommaso Fattori, in Campania "Earth", in Apulia "Solidary and Green Apulia" to support Michele Emiliano, in Liguria "Shared Line" to support Ferruccio Sansa, in Emilia-Romagna "Brave Emilia-Romagna" (Elly Schlein's list) to support Stefano Bonaccini.

Following the victory of Elly Schlein at the 2023 Democratic Party leadership election, both Laforgia and Pastorino joined the Democratic Party.^[3]^[4]

Ideology

èViva was interested in environmental problems and socio-economic disparities. Its ideologies were democratic socialism, pro-Europeanism and antifascism. It joined European Spring, the platform of DiEM25.^[5]^[6]^[1]
