Ideology

The coalition takes inspiration in the aesthetic and ideology of other "identitarian" parties in Europe, wanting to take electoral advantage of the Euroscepticism, the suspicion in the PP and the fear to a change in the demographic composition of the country.[5] The party wants to leave the Eurozone and take back "national sovereignty". It also wants to restrict immigration.
