Roberto Vannacci, a figure known for his outspoken and often controversial views, has officially entered the political arena with the launch of his party, Futuro Nazionale. The party, established in February, now has Vannacci as its president for a three-year term, supported by a national assembly and an executive committee. On his political debut, Vannacci did not shy away from contentious issues, including the concept of femicide. He declared that "femicide does not exist," asserting that it is "a homicide like any other." Vannacci argued that a crime's severity should not be defined by the victim's gender, skin color, or religion, stating, "A crime is not more or less serious based on the sex, the color of the skin, or the religion of who commits it or who suffers it: this is the true equality." He further elaborated that the term "femicide" is an "absurdity." Aligning with his anti-gender and anti-quotas stances, Vannacci also championed "remigration," a core tenet of Futuro Nazionale. The party's platform advocates for a significant reduction in immigration, proposing a maximum of 4% for immigrants who assimilate into national culture and values. Vannacci also stressed the importance of encouraging more births and promoting sports for all citizens, framing it as an investment in public well-being and a means to reduce healthcare costs. He positioned himself as representing "the hope of Italians, not of the left," and assured potential allies that he does not intend to "implode the center-right," while maintaining that alliances must be formed before elections and that he has non-negotiable "red lines."
