TheSocial Movement Tricolour Flame (Italian:Movimento Sociale Fiamma Tricolore,MSFT), commonly known asTricolour Flame (Fiamma Tricolore), is aneo-fascist[1]political party in Italy.
The party was started by the more radical members of theFascistItalian Social Movement, led byPino Rauti, who refused to join the mainstreamconservative partyNational Alliance. Rauti was later succeeded byLuca Romagnoli, who took over leadership.
In the2004 European Parliamentary Election the party gained enough votes in the Southern constituency to elect Luca Romagnoli to theEuropean Parliament. The party was then a member of theHouse of Freedoms coalition for the2006 general election.
In the coming of the2008 general election, Tricolour Flame formed a joint list calledThe Right–Tricolour Flame withThe Right ofFrancesco Storace, a splinter group of National Alliance, in support of the candidacy ofDaniela Santanchè for Prime Minister.
On 8 November 2013, Luca Romagnoli, secretary of Tricolour Flame, together with the secretary ofThe RightFrancesco Storace, the regent ofFuture and FreedomRoberto Menia, the leader ofI the SouthAdriana Poli Bortone,Domenico Nania of the associationNew Alliance,Oreste Tofani of the associationNazione Sovrana,Antonio Buonfiglio of the associationIl Popolo della Vita andRoberto Buonasorte, editor of the online newspaperIl Giornale d'Italia, founded theMovement for National Alliance, a federation of right movements inspired toNational Alliance.On 9 December 2013 the Central Committee of Tricolour Flame distrusted Luca Romagnoli, because he joined this initiative without having preventively sought the opinion of the same Committee, and Attilio Carelli became regent Secretary of the party. After the expulsion Romagnoli founded instead his new political movement,Social Right.[2]
On 13 and 14 December 2014, the VII National Congress officially appointed Carelli as Secretary of the party.
For the2018 general election, it formed theItaly for the Italians coalition along with theNew Force party. At2019 European Parliamentary Election the party decides not to participate.
On 12 September 2021, the Central Committee of the party declared the Secretary Carelli officially lapsed due to the failure to present the budget for the year 2020. The same Central Committee, on 6 October 2021 conferred the mandate of Regent Secretary toGiuseppe Manoli.[3]
On 15 and 16 January 2022, the IX National Congress took place entirely on theZoom platform, on this occasionDaniele Cerbella was elected as National Secretary.[4]
Tricolour Flame is the party of the Italianfar-right most closely tied to the legacy ofItalian Social Republic (RSI). The RSI is usually seen by the party as the example of whatfascism should have been, in particular as an example of true welfare state. As a sign of this legacy, the party, for example, guarantees free membership for ex-RSI military.[5] A press release from the Rome section of the party states:
Tricolour Flame is a movement born just to remark its own ideal proximity to the Social Republic and its fighters. A Republic on which side we would surely have fought, if only the fate would have let us born these years. And we should have surely fought to win, because for us the political synthesis originated from the thought ofBenito Mussolini is for us the only political, economical and spiritual system able to bring the freedom and social justice that are today denied to Italians and all other world populations. ... [We] relaunch our battle for a better tomorrow, embodying the ideals of the Black Shirts ofAlessandro Pavolini.[6]
Tricolour Flame maintains a fairly stronganti-capitalist stance, and it can be thought to be the Italian party closest tothird positionist ideology along with theNew Force andCasaPound parties.[citation needed]
Recently Tricolour Flame has been peculiar, among Italian neo-fascist organizations, in actively trying to attract the young masses and renewing its political practices and communication techniques in a more modern, innovative fashion. Political manifests often tend towards attractive, modern graphics and clear-cut, even humorous slogans. Tricolour Flame is also very close to youth far-right organizations and initiatives, of which the most relevant isCasaPound, asocial centre inRome.[citation needed]
The party is against the regionalism promoted by theNorthern League for an independent "Padania", instead favoring a united Italy.[citation needed]
Among the more controversial members of Tricolur Flame are Pietro Puschiavo and Maurizio Boccacci.[7] In 1985 Puschiavo was a founding member of the Veneto Skinheads Front, afar-right skinhead group based inVeneto and connected toBlood and Honour. Boccacci is the former leader of the Western Political Movement, a far-right skinhead organization based in Rome.[8]
