History

On 10 July 2022, Mario Adinolfi, leader of the Christian-rightist party The People of the 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]
