Action (Italian: Azione, abbr. A or Az) is a liberal[4][5][6][7] political party in Italy. Its leader is Carlo Calenda, a former minister of Economic Development.[8]
Originally launched as We Are Europeans (Siamo Europei, SE), it adopted its current name in November 2019 upon becoming a fully-fledged party. Calenda has described his party as "anti-populist" and "anti-souverainist".[9][10][11] He also explained that the party's name is a historical reference to the short-lived post-World War II Action Party and an allusion to Carlo Rosselli's "liberal socialism".[12] According to Calenda, the party is home to "pure liberals, but also liberal progressives [social liberals, like Calenda] and democratic Catholics [Christian democrats]".[13] Action was briefly a member of the European Democratic Party[14] and joined the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party in October 2023.[15]
