Italian Left

In June 2015, Stefano Fassina, a former deputy minister in the Letta Cabinet, left the Democratic Party (PD) over disagreements with Matteo Renzi, then PD leader and Prime Minister.{{Cite web |date=2015-06-23 |title=Fassina dice addio al Pd: "Non ci sono le condizioni per continuare" |url=https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2015/06/23/news/fassina_dice_addio_al_pd_non_ci_sono_le_condizioni_per_continuare_-117553037/ |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=la Repubblica |language=it}} In doing this he was followed by his long-time ally {{ill|Monica Gregori|it}}.{{Cite web |date=2015-06-24 |title=Fassina, addio al Pd: "Nuovo soggetto politico con Civati e Cofferati" |url=https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2015/06/24/news/fassina_abbandona_il_pd_l_ho_lasciato_ieri_sera_in_un_circolo_di_periferia_-117591749/ |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=la Repubblica |language=it}} In July, during a convention, Fassina launched Future to the Left (FaS), an incubator of a new left-leaning party, with other movements and breakaway groups such as Possible (Pos) and Left Ecology Freedom (SEL).

Several lists named after SI participated in the 2016 local elections. The party did particularly well in Sesto Fiorentino, a medium-sized city in the metropolitan area of Florence, where it won 17.5% of the vote and its candidate for mayor was elected in the run-off with 65.5%, by beating his Democratic opponent.{{cite web|url=http://firenze.repubblica.it/cronaca/2016/06/19/news/elezioni_in_toscana_a_sesto_falchi_in_testa_per_il_pd_si_profila_una_storica_sconfitta-142386917/|title=Ballottaggi in Toscana: Pd ko.

On 3 December 2017, SI established Free and Equal (LeU), a left-wing joint list for the 2018 general election, together with the MDP and Possible, and chose the president of the Senate and former anti-Mafia prosecutor Pietro Grasso as its leader and candidate for Prime Minister.{{cite web|url=http://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2017/12/03/sinistra-allatlantico-nasce-lista-applauso-accoglie-grasso_bfa05cc2-c60d-4199-a483-be551f50c334.html|title=Liberi e uguali, Grasso: 'Ecco la nuova sinistra' - Politica|date=3 December 2017}}

In the election, SI obtained three deputies (Fratoianni, Fassina and {{ill|Erasmo Palazzotto|arz|

In October, SI focused on forming an alliance with Luigi de Magistris' Popular Coalition for the 2019 European Parliament election, and broke with the MDP and LeU.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dire.it/28-10-2018/257839-goodbye-leu-sinistra-italiana-scarica-mdp-e-guarda-a-de-magistris/|title='Goodbye LeU': Sinistra Italiana scarica Mdp e guarda a De Magistris|date=28 October 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2018/11/15/news/leu_esperienza_finita-211660808/|title=Leu, esperienza finita.

For the 2019 European Parliament election, SI formed a joint list named The Left with the Communist Refoundation Party and other left-wing and far-left groups. The list obtained a mere 1.8% of the vote, leading Fratoianni to resign from secretary of SI.{{Cite web|url=https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2019/06/01/news/dimissioni_fratoianni_sinistra_italiana-227741358/|title=Europee, Nicola Fratoianni si dimette da segretario di Sinistra Italiana|date=1 June 2019|website=la Repubblica}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2019/06/01/sinistra-italiana-fratoianni-si-dimette-da-segretario-da-europee-emerso-tema-della-frammentazione-nel-nostro-campo/5225317/|title=Sinistra italiana, Fratoianni si dimette da segretario: "Da Europee emerso tema della frammentazione nel nostro campo"|date=1 June 2019|website=Il Fatto Quotidiano}}

In August 2019, tensions grew within the coalition supporting the government, leading to the issuing of a motion of no-confidence by the League.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/20/world/europe/italy-pm-giuseppe-conte-resign.html|title=Italy's Government Collapses, Turning Chaos Into Crisis|first=Jason|last=Horowitz|newspaper=The New York Times|date=20 August 2019}} During the following government crisis, the M5S and the PD agreed to form a new cabinet together, under outgoing Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/conte-wins-crucial-support-for-new-italian-govt-coalition/2019/08/28/a85203c4-c99c-11e9-9615-8f1a32962e04_story.html|title=Conte wins crucial support for new Italian govt coalition|newspaper=Washington Post}} SI, along with the MDP and the entire LeU, joined Conte's second government, in which SI's {{ill|Giuseppe De Cristofaro|qid=Q3770413}} was appointed undersecretary of University.

In February, after the collapse of the government led by Conte, Mario Draghi was sworn in at the head of a government comprising the main parties of the centre-left and the centre-right. Fratoianni voiced concerns over SI's participation in the government and the party's national assembly voted against the cabinet. However, two out of three MPs, senator De Petris and deputy Palazzotto, announced their intention to vote in favour anyway, splitting the party.{{cite news |title=Governo Draghi, assemblea di Sinistra Italiana: voto contro la fiducia.
