The National Front (Fronte Nazionale, FN) is an Italian
far-right
political party.
The FN had its roots in the
National Front of Jean-Marie Le Pen.[3] The party, which initially confined its operations largely to Rome, gained 18,000 votes in that city in the local elections of 1998.[4]
The party began to expand in early 2000, seeking to work with other minor groups on the
far right to form a united alternative to the National Alliance.[5] The group reconstituted under the FSN name after a merger with further dissident elements within the Fiamma Tricolore.[6] In March 2003 supporters of the new group protested outside the Swiss embassy against the jailing of Gaston-Armand Amaudruz.[7]
For the 2004 European election the party joined with Social Action and New Force in the Alessandra Mussolini-led coalition Social Alternative, which captured a single seat in the European Parliament. They remained part of this coalition until its dissolution following poor results in the 2006 general election.[8]
In 2008 Tilgher joined with Francesco Storace's group The Right, and the FSN disbanded.[9]
However, in 2013 the party comes out from The Right and regains its autonomy.[10]
