Futuro Nazionale’s polling is still modest, but enough to throw the upcomig election into a turmoil.

Former General Roberto Vannacci has created a new ‘far-right’ party, called Futuro Nazionale, and the movement has become a real problem for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

General Roberto Vannacci, hopefully the next Italian PM, declares war on Islam: “I don’t want to wake up tomorrow to see crowds of people praying to Allah in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo. Italian schools must not close for Ramadan, and I don’t want mosques in schools.” Every sensible… pic.twitter.com/vdjGC50UI6

Reuters reported:

“Just four months after deserting Meloni’s coalition ally, the League party, the former general says he has attracted ​almost 100,000 paying members to his new movement, which is polling at around 4% and rising.

That may sound modest, but in a tight election due next year ‌it could be enough to decide whether Meloni wins a second term, leaving her with a difficult conundrum – should she embrace him, and risk scaring away her more moderate supporters, or shun him, and hope that his momentum will fade.”

Vannacci has become known for his uncompromising anti-EU views, while accusing Meloni and her allies of ‘going soft’.

Roberto Vannacci's tweet discusses his controversial stance as a political figure and his predictions for the Futuro Nazionale party's growth.

“’We represent that right which is not faded, not wavering, not fearful’, Vannacci told ​a group of foreign reporters earlier this year after he abandoned the League, which is headed by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.

‘Many positions taken over the past three years by ​this government … have revealed a fearful right’, he said, arguing that Meloni had been weak with Brussels, had failed to crack down on crime and ⁠had reneged on promises to repatriate migrants.”
