The Movement of National Responsibility (Movimento di Responsabilità Nazionale, MRN) was a small centrist parliamentary political party in Italy led by Domenico Scilipoti.

Background

The party was founded on 9 December 2010 by three deputies coming from

government led by Silvio Berlusconi: Massimo Calearo (ex-PD and ex-ApI), Bruno Cesario (ex-PD and ex-ApI) and Domenico Scilipoti (ex-IdV).^[1] On 14 December the three deputies voted in favour of Berlusconi in a close vote of confidence.^[2] In October 2011 the party had its first congress: Scilipoti was confirmed secretary and Cesario president.^[3]

On 20 January 2011 the MRN was a founding component of

Italian Chamber of Deputies.^[4]^[5]

In October 2012, the balance of accounts of the People of Freedom showed that the Movement of National Responsibility had received €49,000 of financial support from PdL for posters advertising the MRN's founding congress.[6]

In 2013 the party joined Forza Italia.

Scilipotism

Scilipotism is a neologism that appeared in the spoken language in December 2010, after Domenico Scilipoti, elected in an opposition party (

Italia dei Valori) left the party and started supporting the Berlusconi Government coalition.^[7]

The neologism seems to describe such a sudden transformation of political ideas and, particularly, of Parliament position (in Italy known as il salto della quaglia – the jump of the quail) [8] for uncertain personal reasons but, certainly, for the advantage of the new political side. A group of "scilipotists" made the Berlusconi Government surviving for about one more year.

As per the International Business Times, '"Everybody says that I am crazy, but I don't care. They said the same to Ezra Pound," said Scilipoti during the seminar. Pound was confined to a U.S. mental hospital after the war.' ^[9]
