Show Notes
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has a new challenger threatening to split the right ahead of next year's election.
The charismatic former army general Roberto Vannacci and his new far-right party National Future has been gaining support in Italy with a tough stance on immigration at its core.
Vannacci separated from Matteo Salvini’s LEGA, part of the ruling coalition, earlier this year and National Future has since overtaken them in the polls.
Could Vannacci get enough support to earn his place in the coalition and what is driving his growing popularity?
