History
editThe party emerged from a split in the Syrian Communist Party in 1986, formed by the pro-Perestroika faction led by Yusuf Faisal.
At the time of the 2000 Damascus Spring, the party was able to publish a newspaper called an-Nour ("The Light").
The 11th party congress, held in March 2011, re-elected Hanin Nimir as First Secretary of the party.[3][4]
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the party published a statement expressing support for the Syrian transitional government and calling for a new constitution to be published.[5]
