Party of Social Democrats
- Party of Social Democrats
The Party of Social Democrats ("Partito dei Socialdemocratici", PSD) is a tiny social-democratic Italian political party.
It was founded in 1994 as European Liberal Social Democracy ("Socialdemocrazia Liberale Europea", SOLE) by Enrico Ferri and Luigi Preti, both historical leaders of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI).
Since its foundation, the party sided with the centre-right: it entered in federation with the Christian Democratic Centre (CCD) from 1996 to 1998. During that period Enrico Ferri was even nominated Vice President of CCD, while Luigi Preti insisted for an alliance with Forza Italia (FI). Finally in 1998 also Ferri decided to join FI, with which he was re-elected MEP in 1999.
Since 1999 elder Luigi Preti was completely in charge of the party. From that moment the party changed many times its name until the current one. PSD, which was part of the Socialist Party in 2001-2001, is now a tiny party in the House of Freedoms coalition. For the 2006 general election it forged an alliance with the Christian Democracy for the Autonomies and the New Italian Socialist Party, but it did not elect any MP.
In 2006 PSD formed a federation with Sergio De Gregorio's party, Italians in the World. In 2007 also former PSDI leader Franco Nicolazzi joined PSD.
