Sammarinese Communist Refoundation (Italian:Rifondazione Comunista Sammarinese, RCS) was acommunist[1]political party inSan Marino. It was a member of theEuropean Left.
It emerged in 1992 when the oldSammarinese Communist Party evolved into theSammarinese Democratic Progressive Party and some members, on the example of the ItalianCommunist Refoundation Party, decided not to join the new party.
In the2001 general election RCS won 3.4% of the vote, while in2006 it gained 8.7% and 5 members of theGrand and General Council as part of theUnited Left, including theLeft Party, a splinter group from theParty of Democrats. Since then it had been part of the 2006–2008 governing coalition along with theParty of Socialists and Democrats andPopular Alliance until tensions between its grouping,United Left, and the latter caused the coalition to disintegrate.
In the2008 general election,United Left, the Sammarinese Communist Refoundation's political grouping, was part of theReforms and Freedom electoral coalition which won 25 seats out of 60 in theGrand and General Council gaining 45.78% of the national vote. The Sammarinese Communist Refoundation gained a few seats and a small percentage of the national vote as part of United Left which itself gained 5 seats and 8.57% of the national vote.
During the legislature, the United Left was restructured from an alliance to a single party, absorbing RCS.
