Founding and Goals of Italexit
Italexit was founded in the summer of 2020 by Gianluigi Paragone, a former journalist and senator who was previously a member of the Movimento 5 Stelle. The party's main objective is to lead Italy out of the European Union and the Eurozone in order to regain national sovereignty. It positions itself as a populist and eurosceptic force, particularly appealing to citizens dissatisfied with the EU and desiring greater independence for Italy.
Political Orientation and Program
The party advocates a range of positions aimed at restoring Italian sovereignty. These include the nationalization of strategic sectors such as energy, transportation, and communication, as well as an expansive social policy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Italexit opposed measures such as the Green Pass and mandatory vaccinations and called for compensation for individuals who suffered damages due to vaccination side effects. This stance particularly attracted critics of pandemic measures.
Election Results and Political Development
In the 2022 parliamentary elections, Italexit received about 2% of the votes, which was insufficient to overcome the parliamentary threshold and gain seats in parliament. In the following months, internal tensions arose, particularly due to the inclusion of members from far-right circles, leading to departures and criticism within the party. At the end of 2023, Gianluigi Paragone stepped down as party chairman and announced that he would withdraw from active politics.
