Autonomy Liberty Democracy (Autonomie Liberté Démocratie, ALD) was a centre-left coalition in Aosta Valley, Italy.{{cite book|author=Tom Lansford|title=Political Handbook of the World 2013|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lUF1AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA714|date=15 April 2013|publisher=SAGE Publications|isbn=978-1-4522-5825-6|page=714}} It took part to three Italian general elections and elected representatives in both houses of the Italian Parliament.

History

ALD was originally formed as an electoral list, affiliated to The Union, for the 2006 general election comprising: the Democrats of the Left (DS), The Daisy (DL), Valdostan Renewal (RV), Vallée d'Aoste Vive (VdAV), Alé Vallée (AV), the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC), the Federation of the Greens (Alternative Greens) and other minor parties. In that occasion, ALD elected a deputy, Roberto Nicco (DS), and a senator, Carlo Perrin (RV), defeating Marco Viérin (SA, VdA) 43.4% to 30.7%[http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2006/elezioni/camera/valledaosta.html Speciale elezioni 2006 - Camera - Valle d'Aosta] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811013538/http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2006/elezioni/camera/valledaosta.html |date=August 11, 2016 }} and incumbent senator Augusto Rollandin (UV, VdA) 44.2% to 32.0%,[http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2006/elezioni/senato/valledaosta.html Speciale elezioni 2006 - Senato - Valle d'Aosta] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811015900/http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2006/elezioni/senato/valledaosta.html |date=August 11, 2016 }} respectively.

In the 2008 general election Antonio Fosson (UV, VdA) defeated incumbent senator Perrin 41.4% to 37.4%,{{cite web|url=http://politiche2008.interno.it/politiche/senato080413/S020010000.htm |title=Ministero dell'Interno - Elezioni del Senato della Repubblica |accessdate=2008-04-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080427013919/http://politiche2008.interno.it/politiche/senato080413/S020010000.htm |archivedate=2008-04-27 }} while incumbent deputy Nicco narrowly defeated Ego Perron (UV, VdA) 39.1% to 37.8%.http://politiche2008.interno.it/politiche/camera080413/C270010000.htm{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Under a new electoral law, the coalition ran together also in the 2008 regional election. The alliance, comprising three party lists (the Democratic Party–PD, RV–VdAV and Rainbow Aosta Valley–AvdA), won a mere 27.4% of the vote, being severely defeated by the UV-led regionalist coalition, which won 62.0% of the vote and confirmed its stable majority in the Regional Council.[http://elezioni.regione.vda.it/Default.aspx?idele=92&L=I Regionali 2008] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080529132946/http://elezioni.regione.vda.it/Default.aspx?idele=92&L=I |date=May 29, 2008 }} In the 2009 European Parliament election, ALD made an agreement with Italy of Values{{cite web|url=http://www.aostasera.it/articoli/2009/04/9/9412/litalia-dei-valori-candida-lorella-vezza-per-le-elezioni-europee |title=L'Italia dei Valori candida Lorella Vezza per le elezioni europee |accessdate=2025-03-20 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130614222244/http://www.aostasera.it/articoli/2009/04/9/9412/litalia-dei-valori-candida-lorella-vezza-per-le-elezioni-europee |archivedate=2013-06-14|date=2009-04-09 }} but only reached 18.5% less than their centre-right rival "Aosta Valley" neither of them won a MEP.{{Cite web|url=https://elezionistorico.interno.gov.it/index.php?tpel=E&dtel=07/06/2009&tpa=I&tpe=P&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=1&levsut1=1&lev2=2&levsut2=2&levsut3=3&ne1=1&ne2=2&es0=S&es1=S&es2=S&es3=S&ms=S&ne3=4&lev3=4|title =Europee 07/06/2009 Area ITALIA Circoscrizione I CIRCOSCRIZIONE: ITALIA NORD-OCCIDENTALE Regione VALLE D'AOSTA Provincia AOSTA}}
