Italexit, whose complete name is No Europe for Italy – Italexit with Paragone (Italian: No Europa per l'Italia – Italexit con Paragone),[2][3][4] is a nationalist and Eurosceptic political party in Italy. Its founder and leader is Gianluigi Paragone, an Italian senator and former TV journalist who deliberately inspired his movement to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party, with the aim of bringing Italy out of the European Union.[2][5]
History
In January 2020, Gianluigi Paragone, a former journalist, known for his populist and Eurosceptic stances, was expelled from the Five Star Movement (M5S) due to his opposition to the government with the centre-left and pro-Europeanist Democratic Party (PD).[6]
In the following months, speculations rose around the possibility of a new movement, led by Paragone himself.[7] In July 2020, Paragone launched his new party.[8][2]
