Power to the People (Italian: Potere al Popolo, PaP) is a coalition of political parties and groups in Italy. PaP was launched in December 2017 and will run as a joint electoral list in the 2018 general election.
In its manifesto, PaP's membership is described as "social and political, anti-liberist and anti-capitalist, communist, socialist, environmentalist, feminist, secular, pacifist, libertarian and southernist left-wing". The coalition's goal is "to create real democracy, through daily practices, self-governance experiments, socialisation of knowing and popular participation".
The coalition was initially proposed by Ex OPG "Je so' pazzo", a social centre in Naples. The proposal was endorsed by other social centers in the country, local committees and associations and finally some established parties.
The idea of building a party and/or list was born during the "Je so' pazzo Festival – 2016", which had as its name "Let's Build the Popular Power", held in Naples from 9 to 11 September 2016. The following year from 7 to 10 September 2017 in Naples, there was the "Je so' pazzo Festival – 2017", which had as its name "Power to the People!".
