Alternative for Italy (Italian: Alternativa per l'Italia, APLI) is a right-wing populist political alliance in Italy launched on 10 July 2022 by Mario Adinolfi, leader of The People of Family (PdF), and Simone Di Stefano, leader of Exit.[1]

History

On 10 July 2022, Mario Adinolfi, leader of the Christian-rightist party The People of Family (PdF), and Simone Di Stefano, leader of the nationalist movement Exit and former secretary of the neo-fascist CasaPound, announced the formation of a joint list to run in the upcoming general election.[2] The party deliberately took inspiration from the nationalist party Alternative for Germany (AfD).[3]

Alternative for Italy harshly condemned the policies promoted by the government of Mario Draghi, especially regarding the mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccination certificate (Green Pass).[4] APLI is also against the European Union and in favor of a reconciliation with Vladimir Putin's Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.[5]
