The SocialistUnityParty of Germany (German: Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, or SED) was the governing party of East Germany from its formation in 1949 until the elections of 1990.
After 1990, the party reformed itself as the Party of Democratic Socialism (later in 2005, the Left Party.PDS), and continues to be a notable force in German government on the state and local levels in former East German territory.
Before the elections in 1990, the old Social Democratic Party was re-established as a separate party while the rump of the SED that remained after a massive plunge in membership was renamed to Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS).
In 1899 there was a realignment of French socialism, with the formation of the SocialistParty of France (PartiSocialiste de France) on the left and the French SocialistParty (PartiSocialiste Français) on the right, led by Alexandre Millerand.
Because of this, the Socialistparty is often criticised by groups further to the left such as the Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvrière) and the Revolutionary Communist League as being no longer a truly socialistparty.
At the 1995 presidential election, Mitterrand retired, and the Socialist candidate, Lionel Jospin, was defeated by Jacques Chirac.
