Italian People's Party (English name) Partito Popolare Italiano

Japanese: イタリア人民党 - イタリアじんみんとう（英語表記）Partito Popolare Italiano

Italian Catholic political party founded by L. Sturzo in 1919. It advocated reformist policies such as decentralization, land reform, and education reform, based on Christian democracy. It achieved good results in the general elections of 1919 and 1921, and participated in coalition governments. However, a left-right conflict arose within the party, with the former calling for cooperation with the Socialist Party, while the latter, with the support of the Pope and the Church, wanted to accept Fascism conditionally. As a result, the party's activities were sluggish, and in 1926 it was ordered to be dissolved by Mussolini. It was later re-established in 1942 under the name Christian Democrats, but in January 1994 it changed its name back to the Italian People's Party. In 1995, under the leadership of Romano Prodi, former president of the Italian Industrial Reconstruction Agency, the party organized the Olive Tree League, which defeated the center-right coalition in the 1996 elections for both houses of parliament, forming a coalition government with Prodi as prime minister. Its official newspaper is Il Popolo.

1919年に L.ストゥルツォによって創立されたイタリアのカトリック政党。キリスト教民主主義に立って，地方分権，農地改革，教育改革などの革新的政策を主張した。 19年および 21年の総選挙に好結果を収め，連立政権にも参加した。しかし党内に左右の対立が生じ，前者は社会党との連係を主張し，後者は教皇や教会の支持を受けて，条件付きでファシズムを容認しようとした。このため党活動はふるわず，26年にはムッソリーニによって解散を命じられた。その後 42年キリスト教民主党と改称して再建されたが，94年1月党名をイタリア人民党に戻した。 95年，同党のロマーノ・プロディ元産業復興公社総裁主導のもとに「オリーブの木連盟」を組織し，96年の上下院選挙では中道右派連合を破り，プロディを首相とする連立内閣が誕生した。機関紙『ポポロ』 Il Popolo。
