Background

The 2013 regional election confirmed the incumbent autonomist coalition government, led by the Valdostan Union (UV), which retained its absolute majority in the Regional Council of Aosta Valley. The coalition lost 14pp from 2008, however.

In July 2015 the regional government, which had been led by UV's Augusto Rollandin since 2008 (he had been President also in 1984–1990 and senator for Aosta Valley in 2001–2006), was enlarged to the centre-left Democratic Party (PD).[3] In June 2016, after months of negotiations, the government was joined also by the Progressive Valdostan Union (UVP).[4][5]

In March 2017 the UVP left the government and, along with Edelweiss (SA), Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (ALPE) and For Our Valley (PNV), formed a new government without the UV, under President Pierluigi Marquis (SA).[6][7][8][9] Finally, in October, Marquis resigned and was replaced by UVP's Laurent Viérin at the head of a coalition composed of the UV, the UVP, the Valdostan Autonomist Popular Edelweiss (EPAV) and the PD.[10]

gollark: Though this is perhaps more of an issue of programmers, languages and tooling more than hardware issues.
gollark: The thing is that the GPU isn't really integrated into normal compute use very much, even when it could probably be used effectively.
gollark: Idea for an instruction set: x86-64 MOV, but no other instructions.
gollark: I guess so. ARM SoCs for phones already have the high/low-powered cores dichotomy.
gollark: I think what would be pretty good is having CPUs with a few high-single-thread-perf cores, like we have now, some lower-powered cores, and a lot of parallel processing ones (like GPUs).
