The Sardinian Action Party (Italian: Partito Sardo d'Azione, Sardinian: Partidu Sardu, PSd'Az) is a social-liberal regionalist and separatistpolitical party in Sardinia. While being traditionally part of the Sardinian centre-left, this nationalist party has recently sided with The People of Freedom and, later, Forza Italia, the largest centre-right party in Italy.
The PSd'Az is one of the oldest European stateless nationalist parties active promoting the ideal of an independent country and joined the pro-separatist European Free Alliance in 1984.
Giovanni Columbu is the party's current president, while Christian Solinas serves as secretary.
The party was founded in April 1921 and was re-organized after World War II by Emilio Lussu, secretary for Southern Italy of the Action Party during the war, and other veterans from the Sassari brigade, a social-democratic group of the Italian resistance movement. Lussu left the party in 1948 to found the short-lived Sardinian Socialist Action Party (PSd'AzS), which joined the Italian Socialist Party in 1949, along with many other PSd'Az members. Consequently, the PSd'Az started to cooperate with Christian Democracy and was quite a stable until the 1980s.
