National Democracy (Italy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Democracy (Democrazia Nazionale, DN) party was a spin-off of Movimento Sociale Italiano, after the electoral defeat of 1976. It was born to pursue an agreement with the Democrazia Cristiana party, by moving from the neo-fascist ideology of the Movimento Sociale Italiano to a post-fascist moderate ideology.
The movement became a fully fledged party in February 1977 and ceased to exist in December 1979 after the very poor result of the 1979 election (0.6%).
Main leaders: Alfredo Covelli, Ernesto De Marzio, Raffaele Delfino, Mario Tedeschi, Enzo Giacchero, Giulio Cesare Graziani, Pietro Cerullo.
