Right, Tricolour Flame, I the South and other right-wing parties and people in order to form a "new National Alliance". In the meantime, most members of the former AN had either returned into the PdL's fold or joined Brothers of Italy, a party led by Giorgia Meloni and Ignazio La Russa which was granted by the "National Alliance Foundation" of the permission to use AN's name and symbol in December 2013. In the 2014 Piedmontese regional election FLI ran with The Right and the Social Right into United Right, but the joint list obtained no seats.
