The Socialisti Democratici Italiani (Italian Democratic Socialists, SDI) were a party in Italy that existed from 1998 to 2007. As one of the smaller parties, the party belonged to the center-left electoral alliance L'Unione and was a member of the Social Democratic Party of Europe at European level .

The SDI's youth organization was the FGS ( Federazione Giovani Socialisti , Federation of Young Socialists).

history

The SDI emerged in 1998 from the Socialisti Italiani , the larger of the two fractions that emerged from the former PSI , as well as from parts of the first re-establishment of the Partito Socialista , the Federazione Laburista and remnants of the Partito Socialista Democratico Italiano .

Under the leadership of Enrico Boselli , the SDI were part of the L'Ulivo electoral alliance in 1996 and 2001 , linked to the Rinnovamento Italiano in 1996, the Greens in 2001 (under the name Il Girasole ) and in 2006 with the Partito Radicale . The Camera dei deputati belonged to 2006 nine, the Senate of six members of the SDI.

For the 2006 parliamentary election , the SDI joined forces with the Partito Radicale to form the alliance Rosa nel Pugno (“Rose in Fist”). After the elections, the socialists could not send a representative to the Senate, but at least hold their nine seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

In October 2007, the SDI merged with renegades from Nuovo PSI and a number of other social democratic and socialist groups to form a new rallying party, the Partito Socialista . However, this disappointed all expectations in the parliamentary elections in Italy in 2008 and failed to make it into both chambers with just under 1% of the votes.
