Liberal PD

The Liberal PD ("Liberal PD") is a social-liberal faction within the Democratic Party (PD), a political party in Italy. The aim of the group is to provide liberal ideas for the party.

It was launched on 26 January 2008 by Senator Enzo Bianco (ex-Republican and ex-DL), former Minister Franco Bassanini (ex-Socialist and ex-DS), Senator Valerio Zanone (former leader of the Italian Liberal Party and ex-DL) and Senator Enrico Morando (leader of Liberal DS).

More than 40 leading members of PD signed the "Liberal" Manifesto. Most of the former Republicans within the party, including Antonio Maccanico, Stefano Passigli, Giorgio Bogi (former leader of Republican Left), Giuseppe Ossorio (former leader of the Democratic Republicans), Adolfo Battaglia, Andrea Manzella and Massimo Livi Bacci, and of the former Liberals, including Valerio Zanone, Beatrice Rangoni Machiavelli, "Patron" of the Liberal International, Andrea Marcucci and those organized in the Liberal Left, joined the faction. Also many former Socialists, including Giuliano Amato, Linda Lanzillotta, Franco Bassanini, Enrico Manca and Salvo Andò, and Greens, including Paolo Gentiloni, Gianni Vernetti and Sandro Battisti, joined.
