Vannacci campaigns in Calabria for Futuro Nazionale candidate

General Roberto Vannacci held a major political rally in Siderno, Calabria, to support Domenico Giannetta, the Futuro Nazionale candidate for the upcoming parliamentary by-elections in Reggio Calabria. The event drew a significant crowd, with estimates suggesting approximately 2,000 attendees.

Vannacci emphasized a platform centered on traditional right-wing values, security, and self-defense, stating that his movement aims to represent a “different right” that focuses on concrete issues rather than intellectualism. He expressed a desire to outperform the German AfD in electoral performance and noted that his party seeks convergence with those who share its core principles, though he maintained a distinction from more moderate factions.

The by-election has become a focal point for competing political visions. While Vannacci supports Giannetta, the group Noi Moderati has endorsed Fabio Roscioli, describing him as a candidate of stability and competence for the center-right. Roscioli’s candidacy is supported by local leadership seeking continuity for the region. Meanwhile, center-left candidate Frank Benedetto has called for pragmatic solutions to school safety and infrastructure during the new academic year.
