Enrico Boselli
Enrico Boselli (born January 7, 1957 in Bologna ) is an Italian politician.
Boselli was initially a member of the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI), which, like all major Italian parties, disbanded in 1994 in the course of the corruption investigations Mani pulite . For this party he was President of the Emilia-Romagna Region from 1990 to 1993 and a member of the European Parliament from 1999 to 2004 . Boselli was one of the co-founders of the Socialisti Italiani formation , which in 1998 united with other similarly-minded groups to form the Socialisti Democratici Italiani , a party that sees itself as a social democratic party, of which he became chairman ( segretario nazionale ). In this position he initiated the election alliance Rosa nel Pugno for the parliamentary elections in 2006 , which secured the party's re-entry into parliament and the establishment of the Partito Socialista Italiano , which took on the historic name of the traditional PSI. He also became the first chairman of the new party. After the failure of the party in the parliamentary elections in 2008 , he resigned from the position of party chairman and attacked the leading candidate of the Partito Democratico , Walter Veltroni , who had surrendered the country to Silvio Berlusconi through his refusal to form an electoral alliance with the PSI . His successor as party chairman was Riccardo Nencini . Since December 2010 he has been a member and one of the vice-presidents of the Alleanza per l'Italia party, which sees itself as a Christian-social and social-liberal party of the center, but has not yet achieved any electoral success.
