Italy’s New Far-Right Party Hits 5.3% in First Polls

Just days after its founding, General Roberto Vannacci's "National Future" party is already turning heads in Italian polling, matching Salvini's Lega

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%.

Rounding out the field are smaller centrist parties: Action at 3.1%, Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva at 2.4%, and More Europe at 1.6%.
