Former Italian Police Chief Franco Gabrielli announced his entry into politics by declaring support for a center-left project led by Ernesto Maria Ruffini. Gabrielli stated his intention was to contribute to a “new idea of the country” through service rather than seeking specific government roles.

Following this support, Ruffini officially launched ‘Più Uno’, a movement that has transitioned into a political party. During its inaugural assembly in Rome, Ruffini and Gabrielli presented a platform aimed at combating voter abstentionism. The party’s manifesto emphasizes equality and a form of reformism described as “radicality” rather than “extremism,” seeking to build a unified, European-conscious national community through a united center-left coalition.
