Roberto Vannacci, during a press conference at the European Parliament, announced his affiliation with the group of Europe's Sovereign Nations (ESN), which includes Germany's Afd party. This move comes after Vannacci's departure from the Lega party and his founding of a new political movement, Futuro Nazionale. Until this announcement, he lacked a clear political position at the European level, which he has now established with this new partnership.

Vannacci expressed confidence in the collaboration with the European Sovereign Nations group, highlighting a commitment to protect national sovereignty against the growing influence of European federalism. He also voiced strong opposition to the EU's Green Deal, labeling it as the 'biggest scam' of the Union. Additionally, he emphasized the group's aim to uphold the Greco-Roman traditions that have historically defined Europe, alongside a clear stance on immigration that he believes should prioritize cultural and civilizational compatibility.

The president of the ESN group, René Aust from the Afd, welcomed Vannacci warmly into the fold, indicating a strategic alliance that may bolster nationalist and right-wing sentiments in Europe. This move marks a significant shift in Vannacci's political strategy and reflects broader trends within European politics, where nationalist parties are increasingly seeking to unite across borders to oppose mainstream EU policies.
