Italy Forza Nuova has longstanding ties to other European far-right organization, including the British National Party. Forza Nuova leader Roberto Fiore was once closely allied with the Ukrainian far-right Svoboda party, but following the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Forza Nuova and Fiore "made a considerable shift to the pro-Russian camp." According to the Political Capital Institute, a Hungarian think tank, Forza Nuova is one of a number of Russian-backed radical right political parties in Europe. In 2016, a Forza Nuova affiliate continued attempts to recruit members in the United States. The group established Forza Nuova—USA chapters in New Jersey (Forza Nuova—USA's headquarters) and Phoenix, Arizona. In 2018, Forza Nuova joined forces with Polish ultra-right organization National Radical Camp to "patrol" the beaches of Italian Romagna Riviera. Political platform The political movement claims to aim for "national reconstruction" by achieving eleven objectives: The repeal of abortion law. A social policy that encourages population growth and the traditional family. Opposition to immigration and the humane repatriation of recent immigrants to Italy. The fight against the Mafia, the banning of Freemasonry and all secret societies, together with exit from NATO and removal from the U.S. sphere of influence. The fight against usury and writing off of public debt, as well as the abolition of capitalism. The restoration of the 1929 agreement between the State and the Church and the defence of national identity. The repeal of the Mancino and Scelba laws, which the Forza Nuova believes destroy freedom. The formation of guilds for the protection of workers. Laws to eliminate seigniorage banking income and for the state to issue currency; complementary currencies for local trade, and the nationalization of the following sectors: health, the central bank, commercial banks and strategic industries The "recovery of Christian religiosity" and of "faith in the Catholic Church". New Force is also characterized by Euroscepticism; Roberto Fiore, FN leader, stated that he wanted to oppose "with all possible legal means" the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.
