Futuro Nancy: the party emerging to Meloni's right

A party founded in February, with more than 100,000 members and 6% in the polls. This is not science fiction, it is Futuro Nancy, the new formation of former general Roberto Vannacci, which positions itself to the right of Brothers of Italy and threatens to erode Salvini's League.

Who is Roberto Vannacci and what does he stand for?

Vannacci, a former general of the Italian Army and Member of the European Parliament, rose to fame with his book "Il Mondo al Contrario", a collection of ultranationalist positions and criticism of immigration, gender ideology and the proge movement. His party defines itself as nationalist, sovereignist and Eurosceptic – a word that, according to some analyses, has become outdated. The party has attracted deputies from the League and Forza Italia, and this weekend it holds its founding assembly in Rome.

What impact could it have on Meloni's coalition?

Futuro Nancy is not part of the governing coalition, but its growth could take votes away from Matteo Salvini, whose party is already showing signs of wear. Italian left-wing media have given coverage to the new party, perhaps hoping it will fracture the right and weaken Meloni ahead of the 2027 elections. Meanwhile, social media is speculating about alleged Russian funding – without evidence – and about the possibility that the party will become a battering ram against the current prime minister.

Will Futuro Nancy manage to consolidate itself, or will it remain a symbolic breakaway? What is clear is that the Italian right has never been a monolithic bloc.
