Summary
Former Italian general Roberto Vannacci has launched Futuro Nazionale, a far-right party already polling near five percent, threatening to shake up Italy’s political landscape and challenge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ahead of next year’s elections. With a nationalist platform, anti-EU stance, and hardline immigration policies—including re-migration and mass prison expansion—Vannacci positions himself as Meloni’s toughest critic while echoing her past positions on leaving the euro and ditching the Green Deal. His appeal to families through tax cuts and security-focused rhetoric could sway voters, forcing Meloni to reckon with potential alliances—or risk alienating moderates. The race is heating up as Italy’s political future hangs in the balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
