Within a year, the RC-led PCP broke with the government and the PD: five councillors sided with the PD and formed a new group named also "Progressive Federalists" in October 2021,[4][5][6] while the remaining two, Erika Guichardaz and Chiara Minelli, who had resigned from regional minister in May,[7] re-organised the PCP as the union of three groups — RC, EV and Democratic Area–Autonomist Left (AD–GA) —, and re-branded it as a left-wing opposition to the regionalist/centre-left government.[8] Guichardaz was affiliated with AD–GA,[9] Minelli with RC.
In the general election PCP supported Guichardaz to the Chamber and Daria Pulz to the Senate, along with the Five Star Movement, AD–GA, Environment Rights Equality (ADU) and Italian Left,[10][11] the latter two already united by a federative pact.[12] Guichardaz and Pulz obtained 10.9% and 10.0% of the vote, respectively.
