Forza Nuova (New Force) is a Italian neo-fascist movement, a member of the European National Front. Supporting the ideas of Julius Evola, the group is now a part of the Alternativa Sociale. It is probably the most extremist faction of the coalition, using Nazi-like propaganda and especially celtic crosses. It was founded by Roberto Fiore and Massimo Morsello.
Program
Forza Nuova's program is declared in eight main points for "national reconstruction":
- Repealing of laws allowing abortion;
- Family and demographic growth as focus of national politics;
- Blocking immigration;
- Prohibition of freemasonry;
- Eradication of usury and of public debt;
- Restoration of the Lateran treaties as signed by Benito Mussolini and defense of traditions;
- Repealing of the Mancino and Scelba laws, which punish racist propaganda;
- Institution of guilds to protect the worker's interests.
Some of these points can clearly be tracked to a fascist view, whereas others may not seem so relevant. Hostility towards immigration comes from their racist ideology, as well as hostility towards the Mancino laws. Freemason lodges have historically been perceived as an enemy of fascism because they are not easily controlled, even though lodges such as Propaganda Due did serve right-wing purposes. The point about usury is a not-so-well-hidden cue to antisemitism (the stereotype of the Jewish loan shark). Finally, the point about workers' guilds implies hostility towards trade unions.
