Il Popolo della Libertà
Since National Alliance's merger into The People of Freedom, most members of the faction conclusively distanced from Fini and became some of the staunchest supporters of Berlusconi. Only a minority, led by Bocchino and Tatarella, joined Generation Italy and finally followed Fini out of the party into Future and Freedom. Within The People of Freedom, Gasparri launched Protagonist Italy as a successor of the old faction, while La Russa started to strengthen its power base especially in the North through Our Right. In 2012 La Russa left The People of Freedom to form Brothers of Italy, a minor right-wing ally of The People of Freedom from the outside.
