The 2010 Adamantine elections were held on Saturday, October 9, 2010 in the middle of Nationalist President Diomede Caltabiano's first term. Solidaristas ended the Nationalist's unified control of the federal legislature by securing an additional 12 seats within the Chamber of Represeantives. The Nationalists were able to defend three incumbents in the Senate, while picking up an additional three seats in Campialti, Monfalcone and Montagna.
Issues
The Nationalist won a slim majority within the Chamber of Represeantives in 2010, winning 44 of the 85 seats, picking up a significant amount of seats in traditionally Solidarista leaning districts. Two chamber districts in the Federal District of Porto Pellegrini and three in Arata had been held by Solidarista representatives since the 1970s; all of which fell to Nationalists in 2008. In 2009, President Diomede Caltabiano signed the 2009 Federal Right-to-Work Law, prohibiting union security agreements between employers and labor unions. Caltabiano also abolished labor unions in the federal government, causing a major backlash from voters from heavy industrial states.
Caltabiano signed a free trade agreements with Satucin shortly after his inauguration, igniting protests across Adamantina. During a 23 day standoff with protestors in Porto Pellegrini, Caltabiano ordered the Carabinieri to intervene which lead the 109 injuries, 2 deaths and thousands of arrests. Several representatives from Caltabiano's own party condemned his actions, demanding he resign. Caltabiano established the Adamantine Coalition for Conservative Action (ACCA), which sought to primary the twelve representatives who openly called for his resignation. Nine of the twelve anti-Caltabiano Nationalist representatives were successfully ousted from their seats during the primary in 2010. Five of the nine ACCA candidates ran in the seats recently picked up in Arata and the Federal District, and were unsuccessful during the general election.
