Just days after its founding last weekend, the new far-right Italian party “National Future,” led by General Roberto Vannacci, has made an immediate splash in the polls, registering 5.3% of voting intentions according to a survey by SWG for broadcaster La7.

The party’s platform includes mass deportations of undocumented migrants, tighter restrictions on those holding work permits, the abolition of the femicide charge as a distinct criminal offense, and a rejection of special legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. For now, the party does not support the ruling government coalition.

Within the coalition, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy remains the dominant force at 27.9%, Antonio Tajani’s Forza Italia follows at 7.2%, while Matteo Salvini’s Lega slips to 5.3%, the same figure as the newly formed party, from whose ranks many of Lega’s former members have defected.

On the opposition side, Elly Schlein’s Democratic Party leads with 22.1%, Giuseppe Conte’s Five Star Movement stands at 13.3%, and the Italian Left/Greens alliance reaches 6.5%.
