Vannacci and the 'Mediterranean patriarchate' against violence against women.

Futuro Nazionale, led by former general Roberto Vannacci, has unveiled the first part of its long-term political plan aimed at reshaping Italy’s legal framework, labor policies, and migration strategies over the next decade. The document, titled “Base Ideologica e Programmatica per l’Italia del futuro 2027–2037,” outlines a comprehensive vision rooted in Roman and Christian traditions, with a focus on addressing gender-based violence, strengthening national security, and promoting Italian labor within the country. The party proposes abolishing the distinction between male and female homicide in legal terms, arguing that anyone who takes another person's life should face the same severe penalties, including life imprisonment. This approach rejects what the document calls the “Gramscian reformulation of law” and the rhetoric surrounding categories such as “feminicide.” Instead, it advocates for a more straightforward application of justice, emphasizing that the killing of a woman should not be treated differently from the killing of a man. A central concept introduced in the document is the idea of a “Mediterranean patriarchate,” presented as an alternative to the cultural model promoted by leftist ideologies. According to Futuro Nazionale, the left’s emphasis on constant opposition to patriarchal structures has proven ineffective, leading to increased violence against women in areas where traditional societal norms have disappeared. The party suggests that this model, focused on fostering strong, emotionally controlled men capable of protecting women and maintaining societal order, offers a better path forward. To address concerns related to domestic violence, the document calls for reforms to the so-called “Rosso Code,” aiming to correct procedural flaws that delay protection for victims. It also proposes expanding electronic tracking devices for individuals under protective measures, citing a chronic lack of resources for such tools. Funding would be allocated specifically to ensure these technologies are available to those in need. Vannacci described the initiative as a result of extensive consultation with members, noting that it reflects ten years of reference and two legislative periods. He emphasized that the plan is not merely a list of vague promises but a clear definition of principles and strategies for tackling key national challenges. The party positions itself as a “nationalist, pure and vital right,” grounded in Roman and Christian heritage, with non-negotiable red lines including the sanctity of life from conception to death, the natural family, Christian identity, and the Roman understanding of law. In addition to addressing gender-related issues, the plan includes proposals for labor market reforms. One section focuses on facilitating the hiring of Italian workers in sectors traditionally filled by foreign labor. The party suggests tax incentives for companies that employ Italians in these fields, with the goal of redirecting savings from long-term immigration policies toward reducing the fiscal burden on businesses and increasing wages without additional costs for employers. It also mentions tying unemployment benefits to job creation efforts, reinforcing the importance of employment stability. The release of the document was announced directly by Vannacci, who framed it as a product of grassroots input and strategic planning. As the party continues to develop its platform, further details on future parts of the plan will likely emerge, offering deeper insights into how Futuro Nazionale intends to shape Italy’s legal, economic, and social landscape over the coming years.
