Achille Occhetto: «Tre dirigenti del Pci volevano chiedergli di scomunicarmi, ma Gorbaciov rifiutò»

Former Italian Communist Party (PCI) secretary Achille Occhetto reveals that three PCI leaders — Cossutta, Ingrao, and Tortorella — had asked Soviet leader Gorbachev to denounce him, but Gorbachev refused. Occhetto also discloses that Berlinguer had considered changing the party's name years earlier, shedding light on internal PCI tensions during the late 1980s.
