Italy’s New Far-Right Party Becomes Fourth Most Popular in Polls
The movement reached 7.5% in an SWG poll, ahead of Forza Italia at 7.1%, as it draws support from the League and former abstainers.
- On Tuesday, a survey showed the far-right movement Futuro Nazionale, led by former army general Roberto Vannacci, has overtaken Forza Italia to become Italy's fourth most popular political force, with 7.5% support compared to 7.1%.
- Futuro Nazionale was founded in February after Vannacci broke away from Matteo Salvini's League party; Vannacci's popularity has since outstripped that of the League, which sits at 5.7%.
- Vannacci gained prominence after writing the best-selling book 'The World Upside Down', which caused the Defence Ministry to suspend him from duty for 11 months in February 2024.
- Adding Vannacci's movement would lift the right above 47 per cent in some surveys, a crucial margin for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition, which currently relies on his support to secure a majority.
- Despite the coalition's need for support, Vannacci claims he represents the "real right" and has so far ruled out joining Meloni's alliance, while she pushes electoral reforms through the Senate this month.
