During the 2019 Italian government crisis, Pino Aprile called for a meeting on 24 August in the Grancia Park, Basilicata, near Brindisi Montagna, to counter Matteo Salvini's victory in the snap election he requested.^[2] More than 500 people from the southern regions of Italy attended the meeting and the foundation of the party, including senator Saverio De Bonis, criticizing the differentiated autonomy pursued by Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.^[3] On 13 October, Aprile officially presented the charter of the party and its logo in the "Aroldo Tieri" movie theatre in Cosenza.^[4] Since 2021, MEP Piernicola Pedicini joined the August 24th Movement, assuming the position of vice-president.^[5]
