United Socialists (Italy)
Encyclopedia
The United Socialists is a social-democratic
political party in Italy. Its leaders are Bobo Craxi and Saverio Zavettieri.
The party, which was launched at a convention in Rome
on 10 October 2009, will emerge as the merger of The Italian Socialists, the faction of the Socialist Party (PS) around Craxi (who was the founder of The Italian Socialists in 2005) and possibly some other figures from the late Italian Socialist Party
