History. – The instability that had characterized the political life of San Marino at the beginning of the 21st century. continued in the following years. In October 2007, after Parliament’s negative vote on an article of the law on fair and equitable trial, ministers of the United Left (SU) party announced their resignation, opening a crisis that would end in November with the formation of a new one. executive and the entry into the governing coalition – alongside the Party of Socialists and Democrats (PSD), the Popular Alliance (AP) and the SU itself – of the Movement of Central Democrats (DdC). However, the tensions continued throughout 2008 and led to the early elections in November: the parties of the center-right coalition Pact for San Marino, with 54, won the victory.
SM too was affected by the consequences of the international economic crisis, which resulted in a prolonged contraction of GDP; to weigh on the small republic were also its placement in the Italian blacklist of countries with privileged taxation and the tax shield approved by Italy in 2009, which was followed by the repatriation of capital illegally held in San Marino banks. The money laundering scandal that involved some important figures of the Savings Bank of the Republic of San Marino in 2009 also highlighted the country’s vulnerability to this criminal activity, which the small state tried to tackle more decisively by strengthening the legislation on the subject..
A new political crisis opened in July 2012, and the elections for the renewal of Parliament were held in the following November: the center-left coalition of San Marino common good, 50.7% strong, won the majority of seats (35). votes. In October 2013, a referendum was held in the country on the start of the procedure for joining the European Union: the majority of voters who went to the polls expressed themselves in favor (50.3%), but the proposal was rejected due to the failure to reach of the quorum (the favorable vote of 32% of those registered on the electoral lists was necessary, but the percentage stopped at 20.2%).
Following the entry into force (October 2013) of the Convention between Italy and MS to avoid double taxation in the field of income tax and prevent tax fraud, in February 2014 the small republic was canceled from the Italian tax blacklist. On January 26, 2015, the agreements on economic cooperation and financial cooperation between the two countries also entered into force.
