# Vannacci’s Futuro Nazionale faces legal and political heat > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/roberto-vannaccis-futuro-nazionale-draws-rightwing-allies-and-a-former-lega-leader > Updated: 2026-09-09T10:20:18.000Z. Sources: 356. Developments: 112. In early September 2026, Futuro Nazionale’s rise intensified through high-profile confrontations and legal challenges. At the TEHA Forum in Cernobbio, Roberto Vannacci engaged in a heated debate with former Prime Minister Mario Monti. Monti accused Vannacci of using fascist rhetoric that violates the Italian Constitution and EU charters, vowing to fight such narratives with all his energy. Vannacci dismissed these claims as ‘fanciful and ridiculous,’ instead advocating for a ‘Reborn Europe’ based on national sovereignty and the principle of EU unanimity to protect smaller states. He later attacked Monti on social media as a representative of the financial elite. Legal scrutiny deepened as the Military Prosecutor’s Office in Rome launched inquiries following a military union complaint. The investigation is examining potential violations of the Scelba Law regarding the reconstitution of the Fascist party, alongside concerns that active-duty personnel may be improperly involved in the movement’s organization. Recent polling indicates a shifting political landscape. While Fratelli d’Italia remains the leading party with approximately 26.7% support, and the Partito Democratico holds second place at roughly 21%, Futuro Nazionale continues to grow. Surveys from Noto and Swg show the movement rising to approximately 8%, placing it in direct competition with Forza Italia, which fluctuates between 7.6% and 7.6%. This surge is viewed by analysts as a form of protest vote from citizens feeling betrayed by traditional center-right parties. Currently, the center-right coalition and the center-left opposition are in a statistical deadlock, both polling between 40% and 41.5%. ## Claims - Fratelli d'Italia remains the leading party with 25.4% of the vote.
