Roberto Vannacci launches Futuro Nazionale party in Rome

Former army general Roberto Vannacci addressed more than 1,500 delegates at the Auditorium on via della Conciliazione in Rome, opening a two‑day constitutional assembly for the new Futuro Nazionale party. He declared the movement proud of being “the waste and the scum,” calling its parliamentary cohort a “dirty dozen” and pledging a platform of “remigration” – “Italy for Italians” – strict immigration limits, sovereignty, and opposition to globalist policies. Vannacci dismissed any personal ties to Russia as “a farce,” criticized the centre‑right bloc for using his party, and said alliances would be on his terms, mentioning Fratelli d’Italia, Lega and Forza Italia. The event featured national hymns, prayers from French parachutists, and references to media figures he thanked for supporting the movement. While refusing direct comment to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Vannacci emphasized that Futuro Nazionale would either join the right‑wing coalition or remain independent, positioning itself as a guardian of “sovereignty and citizenship.”
