Vannacci's Far-Right Futuro Nazionale Surges to Fourth Place in Italian Polls

Roberto Vannacci, a former army general, launched Futuro Nazionale in February 2026. Seven months on, it polls at roughly 7.4 percent — Italy's fourth-biggest party, overtaking the League and Forza Italia, the junior partners propping up Giorgia Meloni's government. That surge destabilizes the center-right bloc (Meloni's coalition of allied parties) heading into Italy's 2027 general election.
