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 the Senate. Since its return to power in the 2016, 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.

Current structure and composition
Central Committee
The Central Committee of the Solidarity Party (CNSP) is the highest decision-making body of the Solidarity Party. It is composed of the party's top leaders, who are elected at the National Committee of the Solidarity Party (NCSP). The Central Committee is responsible for setting the overall direction and policies of the party, and is also responsible for selecting the Political Organizing Committee (POCSP), the Executive Committee (ECSP), and the General Secretary of the Solidarity Party (GSPP). The Central Committee was first established in 1944, when Solidarity was founded. At that time, the Central Committee was composed of just 7 members. Over the years, the size of the Central Committee has expanded, and it currently has around 34 members.
The duties of the Central Committee include formulating and implementing Party policies, overseeing the work of the party's various departments and commissions, and ensuring the Party's continued adherence to its founding principles. In addition, the Central Committee is responsible for ensuring the smooth functioning of the party's national congresses and conferences. In terms of its function, the Central Committee serves as the main link between the Party leadership and the broader membership of Solidarity.
Provincial parties
In Adamantina, Solidarity is a national political party that operates at both the federal and provincial level. Each province has its own Solidarity organization, which operates independently of the national party. The functions of the individual state Solidarity Party organizations vary, but they generally include recruiting and supporting Solidarity candidates for state and local offices, promoting the party's platform and policies, and organizing fundraising and campaigning activities.
In addition to these general functions, state Solidarity organizations may also play a role in selecting delegates to the national party conventions, where the party's presidential nominee and other national party leaders are chosen. Some provincial Solidarity Party organizations also provide support and resources to local Solidarity committees, which are responsible for organizing political activities at the county or precinct level. Each provincial party has its owned elected general secretaries, central committees and executive committees. These officals are usually elected officals or representatives of important voting blocs within the province.

Ideology
Malitoism is the prominent political movement and ideology of the Adamantine Solidarity Party that is based on the ideas and policies of Antonio Malito, who served as the President of Adamantina from 1948 to 1956 and from 1976 to 1989. The movement is named after Malito, who was a strong advocate for workers' rights and for the development of the country's economy through state intervention and protectionist policies. Malitoism was popularized during Malito's first term as President of Argentina, when he implemented a number of policies that sought to improve the lives of the country's working class. These included the expansion of the welfare state and the development of a strong labor movement, as well as the nationalization of key industries and the implementation of protectionist trade policies.
Malitoism was influenced by a number of other political movements and ideologies, including nationalism, populism, socialism and corporatism. Malito was also influenced by his own personal experiences, including his time as a military officer and his exposure to the totalitarian regime of Domezio Andreoni. Malito saw the dismantlement of the social welfare programs of Dellepiane, which greatly reduced the quality of life within the country. Since its apperance in Adamantine politics, Malitoism has undergone a number of changes. Initially, the movement was associated with Malito's personal style of leadership, which was authoritarian and often disregarded civil liberties. However, after Malito's death, the movement underwent a number of changes, and it began to incorporate more democratic and liberal elements. Despite these changes, Malitoism has remained a dominant force in Adamantine politics, and it continues to be associated with policies that promote the interests of the working class. In recent years, the ideology has been criticized for its lack of clarity and coherence, and it has struggled to adapt to the changing political landscape of Adamantina.
