Movement for Italy (Movimento per l'Italia, MpI) was a conservative political party in Italy led by Daniela Santanchè.
History
In September 2008 Daniela Santanchè, spokeswoman of The Right and candidate for Prime Minister in the 2008 general election, left the party, after having fallen out with secretary Francesco Storace. Santanché opposed Storace's political line and instead proposed an alliance with the PdL.[http://www.corriere.it/politica/08_settembre_27/daniela_santanche_dimissioni_portavoce_destra_ffa1ea40-8ca9-11dd-a5ba-00144f02aabc.shtml Daniela Santanché si dimette da La Destra: collaborare con il Pdl] In November Santanchè launched her own party, which had allied with The People of Freedom led by Silvio Berlusconi. On 24 February 2010 the Movement for Italy definitely joined the PdL and on 1 March 2010 Santanchè was appointed Undersecretary to the Ministry for the Implementation of the Government Program in the Berlusconi IV Cabinet.[http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2010/03/01/news/santanch_nel_governo-2468846/ Santanché-Berlusconi, pace fatta è sottosegretario all'Attuazione del programma]
