The Citizens' Union for South Tyrol ((ドイツ語:BürgerUnion für Südtirol), BUfS; formerly Union for South Tyrol, (ドイツ語:Union für Südtirol), UfS) is a national-conservative〔(Parties and Elections in Europe: The database about parliamentary elections and political parties in Europe, by Wolfram Nordsieck )〕 political party active in South Tyrol committed to the German-speaking minority and its right to self-determination. Recently, the party re-branded itself as a centrist party and distanced from the separatism of other German-speaking parties. Its current leader is Andreas Pöder. ==History== The Union for South Tyrol was founded on 2 October 1989 by the merger of the nationalist South Tyrolean Homeland Federation of Eva Klotz (2.3% in the 1988 provincial election), the national-liberal Freedom Party of South Tyrol led by Gerold Meraner and right-wing splinters from the South Tyrolean People's Party led by Alfons Benedikter.〔 or 〕 In the 1993 provincial election the party won 4.8% of the vote and gained 2 seats in the Provincial Council, one for Klotz and one for Benedikter. In the 1996 general election the party had its best result ever (7.7% for party list and 19.2% in single-seat constituencies), because the South Tyrolean People's Party had formed an alliance with some Italian parties.〔http://elezionistorico.interno.it/enti.php?tp=C&dt=21/04/1996&cta=I&ord=3&sut1=6&sut2=0&sut3=0&sut4=0&liv=1&descE=%20Circoscrizione:%20TRENTINO%20ALTO%20ADIGE&descA=〕 In the 1998 provincial election the UfS won 5.5% and Andreas Pöder, party secretary since 1994, was elected for the first time to the Council, along with Klotz. This was a turning point for the party as Pöder started to gain influence and power within the party, which was unofficially led by Klotz.〔http://www.consiglio-bz.org/it/archivio_storico.htm〕 In the 2003 provincial election, the UfS won 6.8% of the vote and gained 2 seats in the Provincial Council. In May 2007, during a heated party congress, Pöder was re-elected party president with 76 votes in favour and 70 against. This led to a split led by Kloz, who launched a new strictly separatist movement named South Tyrolean Freedom (STF). In the 2008 general election, severely damaged by the split and by the competition of Die Freiheitlichen (9.4%), the UfS gained only 4.2% of the vote in the Province.〔http://www.elezioni.bz.it/camerprov_li_vg.htm〕 In the 2008 provincial election the party got only 2.3% of the vote and one elect in the Provincial Council, while STF and Die Freiheitlichen won the 14.3% and the 4.9% of the vote, respectively. The UfS renamed itself to Citizens' Union for South Tyrol (BUfS) on 12 May 2011.〔(d: SüdtirolNews - News aus Südtirol )〕 In the forthcoming 2013 provincial election the BUfS will run as part of a three-party list, along with Ladins Dolomites, a centre-left outfit, and We South Tyroleans, a left-wing split from Die Freiheitlichen. The joint list won 2.1% of the vote and Pöder was re-elected to the Provincial Council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Citizens' Union for South Tyrol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
