History
The JWA List was founded by Jürgen Wirth Anderlan in July 2023 with the aim of running in the 2023 provincial election.[https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2023/07/jurgen-wirth-anderlan-elezioni-provinciali-2023-alto-adige-schuetzen--60bbde10-3160-4211-ad82-77d3dc5eec2c.html Jürgen Wirth Anderlan si candida alle provinciali]. Rai News JWA ran on a right-wing platform, especially opposing immigration and advocating for the separation of South Tyrol from Italy.
In the election, the party took 5.9% of the vote, fending off competition from the alike anti-vaccine Vita, becoming the province's fifth largest party, surpassing the established right-wing Die Freiheitlichen and electing two councilors, Anderlan and SVP-dissident Andreas Colli.{{cite web | url=https://elezioniprovinciali.provincia.bz.it/it/territory/province/19000 | title=Elezioni provinciali 2023 | Provincia autonoma di Bolzano–Alto Adige }}
In October 2024 Colli left the party and launched the alternative Us Citizens (WB).{{Cite news|work=RaiNews|title=Andreas Colli lascia la lista JWA ma resta in consiglio|url=https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2024/10/andreas-colli-lascia-la-lista-jwa-jurgen-wirth-anderlan-85796f9b-12f9-4ecc-9211-2cfd7c9b2c5d.html|date=23 October 2024}}
