History

Originally a Trotskyist faction within the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC), it broke ranks on 8 December 2007 to become an independent political party.[1] From 2006 to 2008 SC had a member of the deputy, Salvatore Cannavò, and a senator, Franco Turigliatto. Both voted consistently against the Prodi II Cabinet and the latter was responsible of the first major crisis of the government on 22 February 2007.[2] After this Turigliatto was expelled from the PRC in March.[3]

In the 2008 general election Sinistra Critica (890 members) ran its own lists and Flavia D'Angeli was chosen as candidate for Prime Minister of the party. In the election SC gained 0.5% of the national vote.
