Italy First (''Prima l'Italia'') is a national-conservative political party in Italy, which was briefly a faction of Brothers of Italy (FdI). The party is supported by the New Italy foundation, previously active within the The People of Freedom (PdL) as Alemanno's factional think tank. ==History== Italy First was launched as a "political association" in October 2013 by Gianni Alemanno, a former mayor of Rome (2008–2013) for the PdL. A long-time politician of the Italian Social Movement (MSI) and National Alliance (AN), within which he led the Social Right faction, Alemanno had left the PdL a few days earlier. The founding manifesto of Italy First included criticism of the PdL, its participation in the European People's Party and its compliance to Europeanism and economic liberalism.〔http://www.fondazionenuovaitalia.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DOCUMENTO-PRIMA-lITALIA.pdf〕 One of the first political campaigns of the new party was against the euro currency. Soon after its foundation, Italy First participated in the process of enlargement of FdI, a party led by Giorgia Meloni, through the "Workshop for Italy"〔http://www.officinaperlitalia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=13&Itemid=124〕 and was finally integrated into FdI in March 2014. Italy First thus became a faction within FdI and Alemanno was one of the party's leading candidates in the 2014 European Parliament election: he obtained almost 45,000 personal votes in the South,〔http://elezionistorico.interno.it/candidati.php?tpel=E&dtel=25/05/2014&tpa=I&tpe=I&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=4&levsut1=1&ne1=4&es0=S&es1=S&ms=S&ne=4&nlg=4&ts=C&ccp=11111〕 but was not elected to the European Parliament as FdI was below the 4% national threshold. In December 2014 Alemanno, who was mired in a scandal related to his tenure as mayor of Rome, and, consequently, Italy First left FdI.〔http://www.ilmessaggero.it/ROMA/CRONACA/alemanno_roma_mafia_ho_sbagliato/notizie/1048366.shtml〕 In October 2015, during an assembly of the "National Alliance Foundation" (the association in charge of administering the assets of the defunct party), Alemanno and his supporters, who wanted to form a larger right-wing party (including FdI), lost a vote on the entitlement of AN's symbol over the representatives of FdI, supported by former AN heavyweights who had remained in the PdL. As a result, Alemanno announced that he would create a "Movement for the United Right".〔http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2015/ottobre/04/scontro_sul_patrimonio_tra_FdI_co_0_20151004_fcddeabc-6a59-11e5-9993-52fe8e9a0874.shtml〕〔http://www.huffingtonpost.it/2015/10/05/an-meloni-sconfigge-alemanno-fini_n_8242638.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italy First (political party)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
