US EditionMEP Vannacci quits Italy’s right-wing coalition, casting doubt on its future success
Roberto Vannacci plans a new right-wing movement with estimated support of 2-2.5% nationally, potentially affecting the centre-right coalition's 2027 election prospects.
- Recently, Roberto Vannacci, an MEP and until recently deputy secretary of the Lega, announced he is leaving the party to launch a new right-wing movement outside Italy's right‑wing governing coalition.
- Longstanding intra‑party disputes over remigration and personalistic associations inside the Lega fueled splits, with provocative remarks generating unresolved tensions, according to statements.
- Polling analysts quoted by La Stampa estimate Vannacci's support at around 2 per cent to 2.5 per cent, possibly peaking at 3 per cent to 5 per cent, with around 500,000 votes in the European election.
- Centre‑right figures criticised Vannacci's split and some demanded he resign his European Parliament seat, with Francesco Giubilei, president of Nazione Futura, calling him a traitor and saying no main party supports it.
- Observers warn the split could siphon votes and attract extreme-right groups, potentially benefiting the Left and being promoted by left‑leaning media, risking coalition stability.
