European Republican Movement

Template:Infobox Italy Political Party
The European Republican Movement (Italian: Movimento Repubblicani Europei) of Italy is a small center left liberal party, part of the Olive Tree coalition and the ALDE group in the European Parliament. The party emerged from a left-wing tendency of the Partito Repubblicano Italiano (PRI), when this old party joined the Silvio Berlusconi III administration—the congress of PRI that decided this new alliance has been cancelled by Italian Court. Its leader is Luciana Sbarbati.
It elected one MEP in 2004 as part of the All United in the Olive Tree - for Europe ticket.
The formation of the European Republican Movement was hailed by satirist Vauro as a "triumph of microsurgery", because of the negligible size of the PRI.
