Venetian Left

Venetian Left (Sinistra Veneta, SV) is a communist political party in Veneto.

The party was formed in March 2015 by Pietrangelo Pettenò, a three-term member of the Regional Council of Veneto, and the majority of the Venice's municipal section of the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC), notably including Renato Cardazzo and Sebastiano Bonzio.[1]

Pettenò wanted a fourth term as regional councillor and to support Alessandra Moretti of the Democratic Party (PD) for Pesident in the 2015 regional election, instead of running as stand-alone list, as decided by the regional leadership of the PRC. SV will will participate in the election within the New Veneto (VN) list, endorsed also by the regional sections of Left Ecology and Freedom (SEL) and the Federation of the Greens (FdV).[2][3][4]
