Italian name: Brigate Rosse per costruzione del Partito Comunista Combattente. History of the Red Brigades renewal began in 1992 when the group called Fighting Communist Nuclei – for Construction of the Fighting Communist Party made a name for itself for the first time. After the first appearance there was a prolonged pause which was broken by the murder of the Counselor of the Minister of Labour Massimo D’Antona on 20 May, 1999. Responsibility for the murder was taken by the organization not known before: Red Brigades – the Fighting Communist Party. Yet again the group made a statement in March 2002 by killing another Counselor of the Minister of Labour - Marco Biaggi.
The new Red Brigades adhere to a radical communist version of Marxism. They struggle for liberation of the proletariat and against American imperialism.
The new Red Brigades try to revive not only the former organization and its ideological and political philosophy, but also the symbols used by the “historical” Red Brigades.
