Italian local election
Italian local election
The 1980 Piedmontese regional election took place on 8 June 1980.
Events
In terms of popular vites, Christian Democracy resulted narrowly ahead of the Italian Communist Party but both had the same number of seats in the Regional Council of Piedmont. After the election, the Communists and the Italian Socialist Party decided to continue their political cooperation and formed a coalition government with the Italian Democratic Socialist Party under the leadership of a Socialist, Enzo Enrietti. In 1983, the Socialists switched sides and Aldo Viglione, a Socialist who had been president of Piedmont from 1975 to 1980, formed the Pentapartito as the new regional government, along with the Christian Democrats, the Democratic Socialists, the Italian Liberal Party, and the Italian Republican Party.
