Refoundation in Movement
Refoundation in Movement (Rifondazione in Movimento) is a faction within the Communist Refoundation Party in Italy.
In April 2008, following the severe defeat of the party in the 2008 general election, a group of former Bertinottiani, composed basically of former members of Proletarian Democracy and led by Paolo Ferrero and Giovanni Russo Spena, allied with the other minority factions in order to force Secretary Franco Giordano to resign. They criticized The Left – The Rainbow alliance and the political line of Fausto Bertinotti.
Refoundation in Movement with their new allies won the majority of delegates in the 24-27 July 2008 congress of the party and Paolo Ferrero was thus elected secretary.
