Civic 10 (Italian: Movimento Civico10) was a political party in San Marino. It has been described as left-leaning and populist, and also advocated for e-democracy and a basic income.

History

The party was established on 30 July 2012 and contested the 2012 general elections as part of the Active Citizenship alliance. It received 6.7% of the vote, winning four seats.[3]

The party was pro-European, and supported the positive of San Marino joining the European Union in the 2013 referendum.[4]

The party contested the 2016 general election as a member of the Adesso.sm, winning 9.3% the vote and – due to the majority bonus system – gaining six seats.

In the 2019 general election, the party was a component of the Libera San Marino alliance, which won 16.5% of the votes and ten seats, of which Civic 10 took five.

The Civic 10 Movement dissolved on 14 November 2020 due to the formation of Libera San Marino as a unitary party.[5]

It has been described as a valence populist party.[6]
