On 30 July 2010 he left the PdL to joinFuture and Freedom, led byGianfranco Fini. On 14 December 2010 Moffa, although he was signatory of the distrust motion to theBerlusconi IV Cabinet presented by FLI and other parties, following the vote in the Senate, he announced that he had never shared the line of no confidence, but that he would still have voted the distrust provided provided his request for Italo Bocchino's resignation as group leader had been accepted, but this request that was rejected. Moffa so decided not to appear in the Chamber for the vote and left FLI, to join the Mixed Group.[3]
