JWA List (German: Liste JWA, JWA), also known as JWA – Wirth Anderlan, is a right-wing populist[3] and separatist[4] political party active in South Tyrol, Italy.[5] The party seeks to represent the German-speaking minority,[4] holds an Eurosceptic stance,[6] opposes immigration,[7] and is involved in anti-vaccine activism.[6][8] The party's founder and leader is Jürgen Wirth Anderlan, former Südtiroler Schützenbund captain.
History
[edit]The JWA List was founded by Jürgen Wirth Anderlan in July 2023 with the aim of running in the 2023 provincial election.[9] 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.[10]
In October 2024 Colli left the party and launched the alternative Us Citizens (WB).[11][12][13][14]
