National Alliance Merges with Berlusconi's Party

The National Alliance (AN) has agreed to fold their party into Berlusconi's 'People of Freedom.' The group consists of center-right conservatives. The National Alliance is the second largest force in the governing coalition.

The National Alliance has been an ally of the the Forza party (Berlusconi's) since the 1990s and ran with him under his winning election last year.

AN leader Gianfranco Fini has not always agreed with Berlusconi's views, however as for the merging of the parties, he seems agreeable as long as the AN continues to have their say in views. The AN consists of post-fascists which came together as the successor of the Italian Social Movement created by supporters of Mussolini after his death in 1945 and the fascist movement was outlawed.
