Team K (TK), named Team Köllensperger from its establishment in July 2018 to November 2019, is a political party active in South Tyrol, where it seeks to be an inter-ethnic centrist party.[4] Led by Paul Köllensperger, it is politically regionalist,[5] liberal,[6][7][8] and social-liberal.[5][9][10]

The party, which is close to NEOS – The New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS), a like-minded liberal party, is an observer member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) and formed a pact with More Europe (+Eu) for the 2019 European Parliament election in Italy. In addition to social-liberal and environmentalist policies, TK advocates a pro-European stance,[11] and is supportive of direct democracy.[5]

History

[edit | edit source]

The party was established on the 10 July 2018 by Paul Köllensperger, a member of the Landtag of South Tyrol.[12] Köllensperger was elected in the Landtag after the 2013 provincial election within the Five Star Movement (M5S).[13] In July 2018, he left the party accusing its leadership of not being interested in promoting enough South Tyrol's local interests and that it was necessary to establish a new party aimed at representing all the South Tyroleans looking for an inter-ethnic centrist party and aiming at breaking the absolute majority of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP).[14] In the 2018 provincial election the party obtained a successful 15.2% of the vote, arriving second after the SVP.[15]

In the run-up to the 2019 European Parliament election in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, TK, which affirmed to be taking inspiration from Austria's NEOS party,[11] joined the ALDE party.[16][17][18][19][20] Consequently, it formed a pact with +Eu, ALDE's member party in Italy, and proposed Renate Holzeisen as its candidate.[21][22][11] The list came third with 11.2% of the vote in South Tyrol and Holzeisen was the second most-voted candidate in the province, gaining nearly 23,000 votes; she did not succeed in being elected as the list did not pass the 4% country-level electoral threshold.[23] Holzeisen later left the party and joined and joined Vita, focusing on opposing COVID-19 vaccines.[24]

In the 2023 provincial election, the party obtained 11.1% of the vote, while Holzeisen-led Vita won 2.6%.

In the 2024 European Parliament election, the party ran within Action, with Köllensperger as its candidate,[25] and obtained 6.8% of the vote.
