History

Creation of the party

The party was established on the 18th September 1943, only a few days after Mussolini's release from prison orchestrated by the Nazis in what had been called Operation Quercia. The first meeting of the party took place at the Verona Congress on the 14th November1943 where the "Verona Manifesto" was issued, a programmatic document that attempted to harmonize the different souls of fascism (the hierarchs, the movementists and the fascists of socialist ideas).

Other activities

On the 15th November 1943, Alessandro Pavolini was elected as secretary. He was also responsible for the creation in June 1944 of the Black Brigades, created precisely with the aim of serving as an armed wing of the party. Then, the National Fascist Assistance Body was established in early October 1943.The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Salò established the Women's Auxiliary Service on the 18th April 1944. There was also a conflict between the party and the Catholic Church during this period.

It also intensified the policy of persecution against Jews that began in Italy with the fascist racial laws of 1938. This choice was affected not only by the influence of the Nazi allies, but also by the fact that the Jews were pointed out by the party leaders as responsible of the collapse of the regime after the 8th September alongside the Badoglians and the Freemasons.

Dissolution of the party

The party broke up on the same day as Mussolini's death, when the partisans captured and killed him on the 28th April 1945, during his attempt to flee to the north with the help of the German military.

Legacy

At the end of the war some of its exponents such as Giorgio Almirante, Giorgio Pini and Pino Romualdi participated in the foundation of the Italian Social Movement on the 26th December 1946.

Ideology

Rigidly anti-monarchist and anti-Savoy, the party made republicanism its ideological banner in the name of the original fascism, betrayed in some way by the compromises necessary for fascism to impose itself in previous years. Strongly socializing economically, it proposed the socialization of the economy and the co-management model as the third way between communist Bolshevism and liberal capitalism. In connection with this, the attitude of republican fascism was markedly anti-bourgeois. Furthermore, it was openly anti-Semitic.
