Democracy and Autonomy (Italian: Democrazia e Autonomia, DemA) is an political party in Italy, based in Campania. Its founder and leader is Luigi de Magistris, current mayor of Naples and former MEP for Italy of Values.

History

DemA was launched as an association by de Magistris and his associates in 2015.[1]

In the Naples municipal election DemA (7.6%) was among the lists which supported Luigi de Magistris re-election as mayor (42.8% in the first round and 66.9% in the run-off). Its local partners were Naples in Common to the Left (a joint list of Italian Left, Possible, The Other Europe, the Communist Refoundation Party, the Italian Communist Party and Green Italy), the Federation of the Greens, the Democratic Republicans, Italy of Values, the Party of the South and six civic lists.[2]

In 2017 DemA was officially transformed into a full-fledged political party and joined Free and Equal, a left-wing electoral list for the 2018 general election (LeU), composed of the Democratic and Progressive Movement (MDP), Italian Left (SI), and Possible. Claudio de Magistris, brother of Luigi, will likely run as a LeU candidate in Naples.[3][4][5]
