"We are a small boat that goes against the current in the storm, but we have a duty to keep the bar straight. We did not hide the difficulties and did not give false illusions, saying clearly that our goal was to use the elections to strengthen and build the Party" writes, among other things, a statement of the Communist Party of Italy (Partito Comunista) regarding the results of March 4th elections.
The Communist Party, which gave a brave electoral fight under difficult circumstances, gained approximately 100,000 votes which, in percentage terms is 0.35%. On that point, it must be mentioned that the Party had presence with lists in 57% of the colleges in the Chamber and in 59% in the Senate.
