Encyclopedia > Partito della Rifondazione Comunista

The Communist Refoundation Party (Italian: Partito della Rifondazione Comunista) is an Italian reformed communist party.


It has members in the European Parliament who sit in the European United Left - Nordic Green Left group.


It was formed in 1991 when the Italian Communist Party split in two: the Partito Democratico della Sinistra, led by Achille Occhetto, and the Partito della Rifondazione Comunista, originally headed by Armando Cossutta.


It is currently headed by Fausto Bertinotti, and it views itself as the party representing the anti-globalization movement in the Italian political scene.

Fausto Bertinotti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1084 words)
Fausto Bertinotti (born on 22 March 1940 in Sesto San Giovanni, Milan) is an Italian politician and leader of the Partito della Rifondazione Comunista.
In 1994, the year in which he was elected to the secretariat of the Rifondazione Comunista and to the Italian and European parliaments, Bertinotti resigned all his trade union positions.
As an ally of the "progressives" alliance in the 1994 general election, he agreed the "withdrawal" pact with the Ulivo coalition: Rifondazione would refrain from running candidates in certain electoiral districts and advise its voters to support the candidates of the centre-left.
