Freedom ( Italian: Libertà), [1] sometimes referred to as the Freedom Front ( Italian: Fronte della Libertà), [2] is a populist electoral list in Italy founded by Cateno De Luca, mayor of Taormina. The list, which includes several regionalist, Eurosceptic, and populist minor parties, was launched in March 2024 in Rome, with the aim of taking part in the 2024 European Parliament election in Italy. [3]

History

Freedom was officially launched by Cateno De Luca and former minister Roberto Castelli on 7 March 2024. On 31 March 2024, the Northern People's Party, led by Castelli, which was the first party to join the coalition, left the coalition, officially due to possible legal problems between a list within the list and another political force with the same name, [4] Italexit, which accused of using its name improperly. [5] [6]

After weeks of close negotiations, an agreement with Sovereign and Popular Democracy (DSP) also fell through on 15 March 2024. The anti-establishment and Eurosceptic party led by Marco Rizzo refused the alliance due to disagreements with De Luca and the presence of some autonomist lists in the coalition. At the same time, Independence, a sovereignist and Eurosceptic movement led by Gianni Alemanno, also decided not to join the coalition. Alemanno labeled De Luca's proposal as "too moderate on European Union and neoliberalism". [7] [8]
