Red Moors (Italian: Rossomori, RM) is a regionalist, Sardinian nationalist, social-democratic,[1] and separatist[2] political party in Sardinia. The party was founded in 2009 as a left-wing split from the Sardinian Action Party (Psd'Az), after the Psd'Az had signed an electoral pact with The People of Freedom, the main centre-right party in Italy,[3] and would later team up with Lega Nord.
In the 2009 regional election the RM won 2.5% of the vote, despite not being on the ballot in three provincial constituencies out of eight, and one regional councillor, Claudia Zuncheddu.[4] The list did better in the province of Sassari (4.2%) and the province of Nuoro (3.3%).[5] In the 2010 provincial elections the Red Moors improved their share of vote and were particularly strong in Medio Campidano (7.1%), the province of Nuoro (4.2%) and the province of Cagliari (3.1%).[6]
In January 2011, Zuncheddu left the party in order to join Independence Republic of Sardinia (iRS).[7][8] This caused a major upheaval within the party, which was left without representation in the Regional Council.[9] However, the party pushed back and, in the 2014 regional election, it won 2.6% of the vote and two regional councillors.[10]
In the 2019 regional election the party formed, outside big coalitions, a joint list with the iRS and Sardigna Natzione Indipendentzia (SNI) named "Self-determination"[11] and obtained 1.9% of the vote. As a result, the party was no longer represented in the Regional Council. In June 2021, during a party congress, Lucia Chessa and Natacha Lampis were elected secretary and president, respectively.[12]
In the 2024 regional election Chessa ran as a stand-alone candidate, obtaining 1.0% of the vote, while the party got 0.6% of the vote and no seats in the Regional Council.
