Party of Sardinians

The Party of Sardinians (Italian: Partito dei Sardi, PdS) is a social-democratic and separatistpolitical party in Sardinia.

In July 2012 Franciscu Sedda and Ornella Demuru left Project Republic of Sardinia (ProgReS), a party they were instrumental to launch, over disagreements with the new party leadership and the rise of Michela Murgia, a writer who was headed to become the party's candidate in the 2014 regional election.

In July 2013 Sedda launched the PdS along with Paolo Maninchedda, a splinter from the Sardinian Action Party (PSd'Az). At the first convention of the party Sedda declared: "Let's start to think and act as a state and a nation, and self-determination will come, maybe not today, but much sooner than we think". The PdS, which long sought an alliance with the centre-left led by the Democratic Party (PD), was welcomed in the coalition, along with the Red Moors and Independence Republic of Sardinia.

In the regional election, which took place in February 2014, the party won 2.7% of the vote and two regional councillors.
