The Democrats of the Left (Italian: Democratici di Sinistra, DS) was a social-democratic political party in Italy.[2][3][4] Positioned on the centre-left,[5] the DS, successor of the Democratic Party of the Left (PDS) and the Italian Communist Party, was formed in 1998 upon the merger of the PDS with several minor parties. A member of The Olive Tree coalition, the DS was successively led by Massimo D'Alema, Walter Veltroni, and Piero Fassino, and merged with Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy and a number of minor centre-left parties to form the Democratic Party in October 2007.[6]
