Good Right (Italian : Buona Destra, BD) was a liberal political party in Italy.
The party was founded on 3 July 2020 by journalist Filippo Rossi, [2] who was the editor of FareFuturo's web magazine between 2009 and 2011, [3] and who published an essay in 2019 (On Jekyll's side: manifesto for a good right), in which he criticized the populist and sovereign drift of the Italian centre-right represented by Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni. [4] He compared his party to the moderate European parties, like the French The Republicans and the German Christian Democratic Union, for their firm stance against the eurosceptic parties, [5] as he pointed out that in Italy instead the centre-right and the eurosceptics parties are allied. [6] He stated his preference for the United States of Europe as the ultimate goal for the European Union. [7]
In 2021 he supported Carlo Calenda's candidacy for the 2021 Rome municipal election [8] and then he supported Roberto Lagalla's candidacy for the 2022 Palermo municipal election. [9] For the 2022 Italian general election, Rossi decided to support Action [10] and was a candidate for the Action – Italia Viva list.
