Scagliotti and Lamberti leave Futuro Nazionale

Enrico Scagliotti and Deborah Lamberti, both councillors in Turin's District 6 (Circoscrizione), leave Futuro Nazionale, the party led by Roberto Vannacci, just months after joining in the previous April. Along with them, four founding committees from Turin and Rivalta also leave the party ^[1].

The reasons

In the statement released, Scagliotti and Lamberti write: «Unfortunately, what we believed was a new political home turned out to be very different from our expectations» ^[1]. The two add that Futuro Nazionale «proved hostile to those with experience, merit and roots in the area, and far too lenient with those who simply follow orders, as if politics were a barracks where one obeys without discussion» ^[1].

Effects on District 6

The departure reduces Futuro Nazionale's councillors in District 6 to one, Massimo Robella, while Caterina Mastroeni remains at the Cinque civic centre ^[1]. Scagliotti and Lamberti represented an already well-established local presence, with ongoing ties to the centre-right in the Barriera di Milano and Borgo Vittoria areas, from which several anti-decay neighbourhood patrols had set out ^[1].

The party's response

Provincial coordinator Enrico Forzese described the episode as the departure of «seven people (including two married couples and one ex-partner)», denying that it amounted to a «departure of committees» and speaking of «thinly veiled personal ambitions» ^[1]. A clarification meeting on the matter was scheduled for Thursday 5 November, with a press conference at the Bamboo Club on corso Moncalieri, attended by national coordinator Massimiliano Simoni, MP and regional coordinator Emanuele Pozzolo, and Forzese himself ^[1].
