The Solidarity Party (Vespasian: Partito Solidarietà, PS) known commonly as Solidarista is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Adamantina. Founded in 1944 by supporters of Antonio Malito. Its main political opponents at the federal level are the National Front, and at the provincial level both the National Front and Modernità. Its is the current ruling party of Adamantina.
Established as apart of a popular strike wave in the country during 1930s and 1940s, most notably the 1939 Adamantine General Strike. Several progressive and socialist leaning politicians within the Liberal Party defected prior to the 1944 election. Antonio Malito's coalition during the initial victory in 1944 included racial minorities, secularists, farmers and urban workers. This coalition significantly shifted during the early 2000s when the party declined in popularity with the death of Ginevra Malito and the rise of the Modernità Party. With the passage of the 2009 Federal Right-to-Work Law the party rebounded partially during the 2010 election, regaining control of the Chamber of Represeantives. In 2016 election the Solidarista's regained control of the presidency, and in 2020 election regained the Senate. Since its return to power in the 2020, the party has been dominated by its socially conservative wing.
The Solidarista Party's platform is designated as a Malitoist inspired form of populist social democracy, focusing on labor rights and the maintenance of the nation's welfare system, including social insurance, unemployment insurance and health insurance. From 1944 to 1956, and 1976 to 1988 the party held liberal attitudes towards issues regarding same-sex marriage, abortion, criminal justice reform and capital punishment. The party shifted significantly in the 2010s in its social policies, with the party embracing social conservatism.
Including the incumbent, Almerigo Cianflone Di Martino, 5 Solidaristas have served as the President of Adamantina. The party holds a federal government trifecta (controlling the presidency and the majorities in both the Senate and the Chamber of Represeantives). The party holds a government trifecta in three states; Arata, San Loreto and the Federal District of Pellegrini. Seven provincial governors are affiliated with the party.
History
Background
The Solidarity Party was founded on March 19 1944 during a merger between the Social Democratic Party of Adamantina, Labor Party of Adamantina and the Socialist Party of Adamantina, unified by the 1944 candidate Antonio Malito. The party was bolstered by defectors from the Liberal Party of Adamantina, the gained institutional support from the Confederation of Labor and Assembly of Industrial Organizations (CLAIO).
Malito having formerly served as the Deputy Secretary of Defense and as the Deputy Secretary of Labor, Malito was instrumental in the development of the Department of Labor's Commission for Labor Relations. His engagement with both the military and labor elevated him in the eyes of many workers and servicemembers. His wife, Ginevra Malito, whom he had met in 1935 was rising star in Adamantina's film industry. She was an advocate for women's rights and was the President of the Adamantina Federation of Women, a role she assumed in 1943. Ginerva rallied women to the party, giving speeches on women's reproductive rights, equal pay, the right to property and the right to divorce. Although women did not have the ability to vote within the country, Malito promised full suffrage to anyone above the age of 18, gathering him a wide network of volunteers and supporters ready to mobilize during the 1944 election.
