National Youth (Italian: Gioventù Nazionale, GN) is the youth wing of the Italian right-wing political party Brothers of Italy. It was founded on 5 May 2014.[1]

Political positions

On its official web page[2] National Youth states that it believes in the primacy of the Spirit over Matter; in the Christian roots of Europe (against the Maastricht Treaty). It is against abortion, in favour to meritocracy but also to social justice. National Youth supports the overcoming of the dichotomy between left and right in favor of the national interest. The movement also carries out campaigns related to schools, university and youth employment.[3]

National Youth engaged in political campaigns related to the social right: it conducted campaigns and demonstrations in opposition to dismissals facilitated by the Workers' Statute reform,[4] and to modifications to wealth calculation methods.[5]

The organization also engaged in political campaigns and statements in support to the preservation of Italian and Christian identity, traditions and roots: it supported the exhibition of the Nativity scene in schools,[6] against same-sex civil unions,[7] drug consumption and liberalization[8] and against illegal immigration.[9]

Keeping in line with Italian right-wing youth organization, National Youth also claims political and moral links with the Italian Youth Front and with its activists who were murdered during the Years of Lead.[10][11]
