ELECTIONS In the election taken place on 3 - 4 March , 2005 , Giancarlo Galan ( Forza Italia , House Of Freedoms ) was re-elected for the third time President of the Region, but the support for him was diminished by the presence of a third candidate, Giorgio Panto , who picked votes both from the centre-right camp and from the Ventist one, and of a fourth candidate of the far-right. However Forza Italia remained the strongest party in the Council and also in the Region as a whole, indeed the Olive Tree was only an electoral alliance at the time and the three parties which were part of it formed separate groups in the Council. The (14.7%), North-East Project (5.4%) and Liga Fronte Veneto (1.2%) was 21.3%, up from the 15.6% of 2000 (Liga Veneta 12.0%, Veneti D'Europa 2.4% and Fronte Marco Polo 1.2%. In February 2007 , the members of Democracy Is Freedom – Daisy (7 councillors) and the Democrats Of The Left (5 councillors) formed a joint-group, the "Olive Tree – Venetian Democratic Party", named after the future Italian Democratic Party .
