The Venetian National Party (Partito Nasionał Veneto, PNV) was a Venetist, separatist and libertarian political party active in Veneto, Lombardy and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. In September 2010 the party suspended its activities and its members joined Veneto State. In May 2012 most of its former leaders seceded from it and formed Venetian Independence.
The party was founded in 2007 by Gianluca Busato (who had been a founding member of the Venetians Movement in 2006), Claudio Ghiotto (also known as Claudio Hütte) and Alessia Bellon. The PNV was indeed a split of the Venetians Movement, whose leader Patrik Riondato did not want to actively participate to elective politics, but soon drew people from libertarian circles.
At the first party congress, which was held on 18 May 2008 in Castelfranco Veneto, Busato was elected secretary, whereas Paolo Bernardini was elected president.
In 2009 the PNV took part for the first time in an election, by presenting candidates and lists for the provincial elections in Padua and Venice,
According to party officials, during the campaign, members and supporters experienced several interferences from the local Carabinieri. Gianluca Busato was interrogated at a Carabinieri's station of Limena (PD). On 13 May Stefano Venturato, candidate for President in Padua, started a hunger strike to protest against the misinformation of the local newspapers about the PNV and the interferences of the Italian police. Finally, on 14 May, the PNV's headquarters in Treviso were ransacked by Carabinieri.
