Draft:Avvento Civile
Avvento Civile is an Italian political movement of the national-conservative and far-right area, founded by Eterno and Paolo Aita.
Its main guidelines are a strongly restrictive policy on immigration, opposition to abortion, support for the reintroduction of the death penalty, and an appeal to traditional and nationalist values. The movement also declares inspiration from the ideas expressed by U.S. conservative commentators such as Charlie Kirk. The positions attributed to Kirk (on which the movement claims to be inspired) are summarized in the sources about him.
Organization and Spread[edit]
The movement reportedly focuses on strong social media communication to attract young people dissatisfied with traditional political forces. The group is said to have participated in rallies, demonstrations, and local campaigns, but it has not achieved significant electoral results at the national level."
Ideology and Political Positions[edit]
- Immigration: Policies of expulsion and repatriation, closure of indiscriminate reception mechanisms, strict border control; strong rhetoric on the topic of “cultural replacement.”
- Abortion: Clear opposition to abortion, with campaigns aimed at its abolition or the severe restriction of the possibilities for pregnancy termination.
- Death penalty: Support for the reintroduction of capital punishment as a deterrent for crimes considered particularly serious.
- Public order and justice: Security-focused policies, expansion of law enforcement powers, and restriction of alternatives to detention.
- Cultural values: Emphasis on the traditional family, conventional gender roles, and reference to an identity-based interpretation of the nation.
- Foreign influences: The movement declares inspiration from certain themes of U.S. media conservatism, citing figures such as Charlie Kirk as sources of inspiration; Kirk’s positions (pro-family values, criticism of “woke” culture, opposition to abortion, and strong conservative youth activism) are documented in sources about him.
Controversies[edit]
Avvento Civile has reportedly been the subject of harsh criticism from civil rights organizations, anti-racist groups, and much of the mainstream media, which have accused it of promoting xenophobic and discriminatory rhetoric. Political analysts place it closer to radical right-wing groups than to the normal democratic political competition.
