Founded on 8 May 1945, the SVP has roots in the Deutscher Verband, a confederation of German-speaking parties formed in 1919 after the annexation of South Tyrol by Italy, which shared many of the same leading figures as the early SVP.[5] An ethnic catch-all party,[6][7][8] the SVP is aimed at representing South Tyrol's German-speaking population, as well as Ladin speakers.[citation needed] It is mainly Christian-democratic,[9] but nevertheless quite diverse, including conservatives, liberals and social democrats.[10] The party also gives special attention to the interests of farmers, which make up a good deal of its electorate, especially in Alpine valleys.
In 1989, Silvius Magnago, long-time SVP leader and governor of South Tyrol since 1960, handed his office to Luis Durnwalder, who would keep the post until 2013. Under Durnwalder's long reign, the SVP continued to be the largest party in the Province, garnering more than 50% of the vote in most elections, despite growing competition, chiefly from right-wing parties, i.e. the Union for South Tyrol and Die Freiheitlichen. Most importantly, Durnwalder managed to keep the party, often riven in internal disputes between opposing factions, united.
In the 2004 European Parliament election, the SVP formed an electoral alliance with The Olive Tree joint list, including the DS. The party's share of votes fell below 50% for the first time, to 46.7% (–9.3pp from 1999, mainly because of the big win of the Greens (13.2%, +6.5%). However, Michl Ebner was elected MEP with more than 90,000 preferences and a Green, Sepp Kusstatscher (a former member of the internal left of the SVP), was elected too, the first time that the province had two MEPs.
Also in 2004, the centrist Siegfried Brugger, party chairman since 1992, stepped down and was replaced by Elmar Pichler Rolle, another centrist.
In the 2008 general election, the party obtained 44.3% (–9.1pp from 2006 and –16.2pp from 2001), returning only two deputies, Siegfried Brugger and Karl Zeller. In the Senate election, thanks to the plurality voting system, the SVP got its three senators – Helga Thaler Ausserhofer, Oskar Peterlini and Manfred Pinzger – re-elected. The low number of elects in the Chamber was due both to the strong showing of Die Freiheitlichen (9.4%) on the right and the decision not to enter in alliance for the Chamber of Deputies either with the centre-left led by the Democratic Party (PD, 18.0%) – successor of the DS – or the centre-right led by The People of Freedom (PdL,16.0%).
In the 2008 provincial election, the SVP won 48.1% of the vote in the province (–7.5%), while its right-wing rivals (The Freedomites, South Tyrolean Freedom and Union for South Tyrol) gained a combined 21.5% of the vote. During the electoral campaign the party did not endorse its traditional counterparts in Trentino (the Daisy Civic List/Union for Trentino, UpT, and the PATT), in order not to hurt the relations with Lega Nord (LN), whose Trentino section, Lega Trentino, provided the opposition candidate, Sergio Divina, who was however defeated Despite rumors on an alliance with Lega Alto Adige Südtirol,[17][18][19] after the election the SVP continued its alliance with the PD, which was the largest party in Trentino.
In April 2009, Richard Theiner, a member of the Arbeitnehmer ("employees") left-leaning wing,[20] was elected party chairman, due to an agreement between the opposing factions.[21] Since then he was assisted by three deputy chairpersons: Thomas Widmann (Wirtschaft or "business" faction), Martha Stocker and Paola Bioc Gasser (representative of the Ladin section).[22] The latter was replaced by Daniel Alfreider in 2012.[23] Widmann would later leave the party in 2023.
The SVP contested the 2013 general election as part of the centre-left coalition, Italy. Common Good.[24] Some long-serving MPs, notably Siegfried Brugger and Helga Thaler Ausserhofer, chose not to run for re-election and the party selected its candidates through a primary election.[25]
In the general election, the SVP won 44.2% of the provincial vote[26] (–0.1pp from 2008) and, being part of the coalition winning the national majority premium, obtained five deputies: Albrecht Plangger, Renate Gebhard, Daniel Alfreider, PATT's Mauro Ottobre and Manfred Schullian.[27] For the Senate, the SVP ran alone in the constituencies of Merano and Brixen, winning both: in Merano outgoing deputy Karl Zeller took 53.5%,[28] while in Brixen Hans Berger 55.4%.[29] The SVP, in alliance with the PD, the UpT and the PATT, contributed also to the election of centre-left or autonomist candidates in the constituency of Bolzano and in those of Trentino.[30]
In the October election, the SVP won 45.7% of the vote in the province (–2.4pp) and lost its 65-year-long absolute majority. Both the German right-wing parties (whose combined share of the vote was 27.2%, +5.7%) and the Greens (8.7%, +2.9%) gained votes.[33] Kompatscher obtained more than 80,000 preference votes[34] and was appointed governor, in coalition with the PD.[35]
In May 2014, Theiner was replaced by Philipp Achammer as party's chairman.[36][37] Daniel Alfreider, Zeno Christanell and Angelika Wiedmer were appointed vice chairpersons.[38] Kompatscher and 28-year-old Achammer formed an entirely new leadership team and represented the party's renewal.[39]
In the 2014 European Parliament election, the SVP won 48.0% of the vote in the province and Dorfmann was re-elected to the European Parliament.
2018–2019 elections
The SVP, which again chose its candidates through a primary election,[40] contested the 2018 general election in a joint list with the PATT, within the centre-left coalition. The German right-wing parties did not participate, leading the SVP to obtain 48.8% of the vote in the province (+4.6pp). However, due to the new electoral system, it secured four deputies, including one for the PATT, and three senators. For the Chamber, Plangger was elected in Meran (61.2%),[41] Gebhard in Brixen (65.0%),[42] Schullian and PATT's Emanuela Rossini from the PR list.[43] For the Senate, Julia Unterberger was elected in Merano (61.1%),[44]Meinhard Durnwalder in Brixen (66.5%)[45] and Dieter Steger from the PR list.[46] The SVP's support granted the election of PD's candidates for the Chamber and the Senate in Bolzano, but for the first time the centre-left lost badly in Trentino, where the LN – re-styled as "Lega" – became the largest party.[47][48][49]
In the 2018 provincial election, incumbent governor Kompatscher was the party's leading candidate.[50][51] In the election on 21 October 2018, the party gained 41.9% (–3.8pp).[52] The PD, SVP's traditional ally, did so poorly that the SVP needed to find a new coalition partner: after long negotiations, the party chose to team up with Lega Alto Adige Südtirol in 2019.[53] Additionally, for the 2019 European Parliament election, the party formed an electoral pact with the other two main members of the European People's Party (EPP) from Italy, Forza Italia (FI) and the Union of the Centre (UdC).[54] In the event, the SVP garnered 46.5% of the vote in the province and Dorfmann was re-elected to the European Parliament.
2022–2024 elections
In the 2022 general election, the SVP decided to run independently with PATT and the Trentino Project. In response, the centre-left coalition made deals with the Team K and Greens after this decision. The SVP obtained 44.1% (–4.7pp) of the vote at the provincial level. Fewer seats were at stake after the successful 2020 constitutional referendum. For the Chamber, Schullian was re-elected in Bolzano with 32.9%,[55] Gebhard was re-elected in Brixen with 57.4%[56] and incumbent senator Steger was elected from the PR list.[57] For the Senate, the party's candidate narrowly lost in Bolzano,[58] Unterberger was re-elected in Meran with 47.8%[59] and Durnwalder was re-elected in Brixen with 46.1%.[60]
In the 2023 provincial election, the party was reduced to 34.5% of the vote (–7.4pp), with Kompatscher as the most voted candidate. That was due to the competition from a number of right-wing and populist German-speaking parties (combined 25.0% of the vote), as well as the split of For South Tyrol with Widmann (3.4%). After the election, the SVP chose to pursue an alliance with the Brothers of Italy (FdI, 6.0%), Die Freiheitlichen (dF, 4.9%), Lega Alto Adige Südtirol (LAAST, 3.1%) and The Civic List (LC, 2.6%).[61][62] Kompatscher, who favoured a centre-left coalition,[63][64] stayed as governor. The new government was formed by eight ministers from the SVP and one each for FdI, dF and LAAST, while LC provided external support.[65][66][67][68]
In May 2024, Steger was elected party leader, replacing Achammer.[69][70][71]
In the run-up of the 2024 European Parliament election, the SVP confirmed its electoral pact with FI.[72] In the event, the SVP garnered 47.0% of the vote in the province and Dorfmann was re-elected to the European Parliament.
Ideology and factions
The SVP is an example of a catch-all party. Its ideology ranges from Christian democracy to social democracy, due to the virtual absence of a true social-democratic rival party in the region. In German-speaking valleys the SVP has had almost no opposition for decades.
In August 2018 a new faction, Plattform Heimat (Homeland Platform), was launched.[93] The grouping represents the party's right-wing, which has been weakened over the years by the competition of several right-wing parties and is led by Michael Epp. Since 2023 the faction is represented by 2 provincial concillors out of 13.[94]
Siegfried Brugger and Elmar Pichler Rolle, who led the party in 1992–2004 and 2004–2009 respectively, are centrist figures who worked for preserving internal unity. In order to prevent the party's break-up along right-left lines, in 2008 Perkmann, leader of the Arbeitnehmer, proposed a "federal reform" of the party in order to preserve its catch-all nature and simultaneously give more autonomy to its factions, which had been given an official status.[87] The result was a mild reform of the party and the election to the party leadership in 2009 of a ticket composed by a leading member of the Arbeitnehmer, Richard Theiner, and a leading member of the Wirtschaft faction, Thomas Widmann, plus Martha Stocker, a close ally of Durnwalder. The internal divide was also displayed during the vote of confidence on Silvio Berlusconi's fourth government in 2008: Pinzger and Thaler Ausserhofer abstained, while Brugger, Zeller and Peterlini voted against.[95][96]
The Young Generation (Junge Generation, JG) is the youth movement of the party, including all members at the age of 14 to 30.

^This result refers to single-seat constituencies, as the SVP did not present its own party list for proportional representation, but was part of the list of the Italian People's Party (PPI), along with some other minor parties, at the national level. This list won only 27.9% in the Province of Bolzano.
