In January 2013 Olivieri resigned from the Regional Council and was replaced by Giacinto Forte (ex-Italy of Values, who joined the MeP),[3] while in March the party was joined also by Antonio Martucci (ex-Italy of Values).[4] At the national level both Olivieri and Forte were members of the Democratic Centre, a centrist party led by Bruno Tabacci,[5] but this changed in March, when Olivieri left both parties and went on to launch Reality Italy.[6]
In May 2013 the MeP chose to join the centre-right coalition,[7][8] but this caused the exit of Buccoliero.
