Liberal Socialists Explained

The Liberal Socialists (Liberalsocialisti, LS) were a regionalist social-democratic political party based in Sicily.

The party was founded in 1998 by Salvo Andò and other former leading members of the late Italian Socialist Party (PSI).[1]

In the 2001 regional election, the party garnered 1.0% of the vote and elected a regional councillor.[2]

In the 2003 provincial elections, the party elected provincial councillors in the provinces of Catania, Messina, Palermo, Agrigento and Caltanissetta.[3]

In 2003, the party was merged into the Italian Democratic Socialists (SDI).

In 2010, Andò and other former Liberal Socialists formed the Socialist Clubs, a network of local social-democratic clubs in Sicily.[4]
