Make the PD (Fare il PD) was short-livedsocial-democratic faction within theDemocratic Party (PD), apolitical party in Italy.
The faction was launched in July 2013 during a convention, which saw the participation of the bulk of the supporters of former secretaryPier Luigi Bersani, who largely opposedMatteo Renzi's rise within the party.[1] The manifesto of "Make the PD" was signed byStefano Fassina,Floriana Casellato,Micaela Campana,Alfredo D'Attorre andMaurizio Martina,[2] and was supposed to provide the ideological base for a bid to the party's leadership by Fassina.
In fact, the movement never became a stable faction within the party and its members finally supportedGianni Cuperlo in the2013 leadership election.
