National Movement for Sovereignty (Italian: Movimento Nazionale per la Sovranità, MNS) is a national-conservative political party in Italy, founded on 18 February 2017, with the merger of The Right and National Action. Its leaders are Francesco Storace and Gianni Alemanno, both former ministers and former leaders of the two founding parties, respectively.
The party aims at forming a large Sovereignitist Pole with Northern League, Brothers of Italy, Direction Italy, and others. However, Brothers of Italy did not take part to the MNS' founding congress, despite being invited.
The roots of the MNS can be traced in the tradition of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), the party of the post-fascist right, and its successor, National Alliance (AN), launched in 1993 and established in 1995. Both National Action and The Right are heirs of that tradition: the latter was founded in 2007 by former President of Lazio Francesco Storace, who opposed the merger of National Alliance into The People of Freedom, while National Action was launched in 2015 by former Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno. Both Storace and Alemanno hailed from the Social Right faction of the defunct National Alliance.
During its founding congress in February 2017, the party elected Storace president and Alemanno secretary.
