**Political Action** (*Azione Politica*, AP) is a [liberal](/source/Liberalism) [political party](/source/List_of_political_parties_in_Italy) based in [Abruzzo](/source/Abruzzo), [Italy](/source/Italy).[1]

## History

Political Action was founded in 2017 by Gianluca Zelli.[2]

In 2019, the party took part in the [regional election in Abruzzo](/source/2019_Abruzzo_regional_election) among the ranks of the [centre-right coalition](/source/Centre-right_coalition_(Italy)), in support of the candidacy of [Marco Marsilio](/source/Marco_Marsilio),[3] getting 3.24% of the vote and one seat.[4] Following the election, AP was excluded from the regional government, provoking the anger of Zelli, who resigned as coordinator of the party.[5] However, the resignations returned a few days later, following a request from the regional coordination of the party.[6]

In the [2020 local elections](/source/2020_Italian_local_elections), the party took part in the municipal election of Chieti, in a coalition of civic lists in support of Paolo De Cesare, scoring just 1.63% of the vote. In the ballot it supported the candidate of the centre-left, [Diego Ferrara](/source/Diego_Ferrara), and won one seat.[7]

In occasion of the [2023 local elections](/source/2023_Italian_local_elections), the party announced to support the candidacy of Maria Cristina Marroni for Mayor of Teramo.[8]

On the occasion of the [2024 regional election in Abruzzo](/source/2024_Abruzzo_regional_election), AP reached an electoral agreement with the [League](/source/Lega_(political_party)).[9]
