Rosa nel Pugno (RnP) (German: Rose in der Faust ) was a left-liberal , social-democratic and secular party alliance in Italy that existed from 2005 to 2007. Rosa nel Pugno ran for the 2006 parliamentary elections as part of the larger center-left alliance L'Unione and was then involved in the Prodi II government .
Involved
The Rosa nel Pugno included:
- Socialisti Democratici Italiani
- Radicali Italiani
- Associazione Luca Coscioni
- Federazione dei Giovani Socialisti
Although part of the NPSI was also interested in cooperation, neither the I Socialisti Italiani , founded in February 2006, nor the rest of the NPSI took part in this alliance.
history
It was founded in September 2005 at the founding meeting in Fiuggi . The political principles of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero , Tony Blair and Loris Fortuna served as the basis.
The symbol of the electoral alliance featured a rose in its fist, similar to the historical symbol of the Partito Radicale in the 1970s and 1980s. It also recalled the current symbol of the Socialist International .
In the parliamentary elections in April 2006 , Rosa nel Pugno ran with uniform lists, which in turn belonged to the center-left coalition L'Unione . In the election to the House of Representatives, the alliance received 2.6 percent of the vote and 18 of the 630 seats. In the Senate election, RnP got almost 2.5 percent - too little for a seat in the upper house of parliament. The members of the RnP then formed a parliamentary group in the Camera dei deputati, with Roberto Villetti as chairman and Lanfranco Turci as deputy.
In Prodi II Cabinet RNP introduced in May 2006, the Minister for International Trade and European Policy ( Emma Bonino ), a vice minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( Ugo Intini ) and two state secretaries.
Cinzia Dato, a member of the La Margherita party , joined the RnP parliamentary group in August 2007. On December 18, 2007, the alliance was officially dissolved due to internal disputes. Since then, the radicals and the socialists, who had already formed the Partito Socialista in October, have gone their separate ways. The joint parliamentary group in the House of Representatives continued to exist until May 2008, albeit under the changed name Socialisti e Radicali - RnP .
