Foundation and Development of the Brothers of Italy
Brothers of Italy (FdI) was founded in December 2012 by Giorgia Meloni, Guido Crosetto and Ignazio La Russa. The party emerged as a breakaway from Il Popolo della Libertà (PdL) and carries on the traditions of Alleanza Nazionale (AN), which itself emerged from the Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI). Since its foundation, FdI has established itself as a national-conservative force that values national sovereignty and traditional values. Under the leadership of Giorgia Meloni, the party experienced a continuous rise and was able to steadily expand its influence in Italian politics.
Political Orientation and Main Concerns
FdI represents a national-conservative ideology with a focus on national sovereignty, traditional family values, and a restrictive immigration policy. The party advocates for a stronger emphasis on national identity and culture and rejects excessive integration into supranational structures. In economic matters, FdI combines elements of economic liberalism with state interventionism to protect and promote the national economy. Additionally, the party advocates for a reform of the EU to strengthen the influence of the member states.
Current Political Position and Influence
In the 2022 parliamentary elections, FdI, under the leadership of Giorgia Meloni, achieved a significant electoral success and became the strongest party within the center-right coalition. This led to Meloni assuming the position of Prime Minister, making FdI the first to lead the government in Italy. Since then, the party has significantly shaped Italian politics and implemented its political ideas in government decisions. Meloni's tenure is considered the most right-wing since World War II, with tendencies towards authoritarian measures and a rollback of liberal reforms.
