The Monarchist National Party (Italian: Partito Nazionale Monarchico, PNM) was a political party in Italy founded in 1946. It was a right-wing competitor to Christian Democracy and was especially strong in Southern Italy.^[2]

History

[edit]

The party's best electoral result was in the 1953 general election, when the party scored 6.9% and came fourth after Christian Democracy, the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party.^[3]

In 1954 the party suffered a major split led by Achille Lauro, mayor of Naples from 1952 to 1957, who formed the People's Monarchist Party (PMP), which was closer to Christian Democracy.^[2]^[4] In the 1958 general election, the PNM won 2.2% of the vote, while the rival PMP 2.6%.^[5]

In 1959 the two monarchist parties joined the Italian Democratic Party (PDIUM).^[2]^[4]
