Italexit for Italy,usually referred to simply as Italexit,is a populist,sovereignist,and hard Eurosceptic political party in Italy,which advocates the country's exit from the eurozone and the European Union. Its founder is Gianluigi Paragone,a former member of the Senate of the Republic and TV journalist. Paragone and Italexit oppose Italy's membership in NATO. Although the party rejects a classification on the political spectrum and includes some left-wing positions,it is considered right-wing due to Paragone's profile. Italexit was founded in 2020 after Paragone was expelled from the Five Star Movement (M5S). Between 2020 and 2022,Italexit was joined by several members of the Italian Parliament,mainly from the M5S and the League (Lega).
