The PdV was formed in April 2019 by the union of five parties: We Are Veneto (2.7% as Independence We Veneto in the 2015 Venetian regional election), Venetian Independence (2.5%), Chiavegato Group, Autonomous Veneto Project and Veneto State of Europe.[1][2] The PdV was officially launched on 19 October 2019 during a convention in Padua, attended by 1,500 people. On the occasion, the coalition was enlarged to other groups, including Great North, Veneto First, Network 22 October, Autonomous Belluno Dolomites Region and People of Saint Mark[3][4][5][6] (the latter left in February 2020).[7]

In the run-up of the 2020 Venetian regional election, the PdV chose Guadagnini as its candidate for President of Veneto[8] and was joined by other minor groups, notably including the faction around Riccardo Szumski (mayor of Santa Lucia di Piave).[9][10] In the contextual municipal election in Venice the PdV will field philosopher Stefano Zecchi for mayor.
