The '''Party of National Reconstruction''' (''{{Wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}'': '''Partito della Ricostruzione Nazionale'''; '''PRN''') was a {{wp|far-right}} political party that existed in [[Marirana]] from 1972 to 2009. Between 1972-1988 the party functioned as the official party of the [[Civic-military dictatorship in Marirana|civic-military dictatorship]] where it provided three presidents - [[Luciano Pella]], [[Emilio Amato]] and [[Ignazio Antoniotto]].
The '''Popular Republican Movement''' (''{{Wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}'': '''Movimento Repubblicano Popolare'''; '''MRP''') was a {{wp|far-right}} political party that existed in [[Marirana]] from 1990 to 2012. From 1994 to 2012 it was the ruling party of Marirana being dominated by the [[Hatoyama family]].


The PRN was created in 1972 in order to provide a civilian political apparatus for the government to exercise its power through. Its ideology was determined by right-wing politician Luciano Pella who envisioned the party as a conservative, corporatist and authoritarian organisation with strong militarist overtones. Pella endorsed the dual rule by military officials and civilian technocrats as indicative of the "national-corporate state".  
The MRP was created in 1992 by [[Riccardo Hatoyama]] after the administration of [[Ignazio Antoniotto]] fell out of favour with the Mariranan military, who engineered his impeachment from Congress and promoted the creation of a more right-wing, conservative party. Hatoyama, a former official from the Inter-Provincial Security Agency, won the 1994 election on what was considered to be a fraudulent ballot becoming president of Marirana.


Despite the party's ideological hegemony within the regime it was dependent on the military and so displayed little autonomy from the policies of the [[Standing Committee of Armed Forces Command]]. Under the leadership of Pella owing to divisions within the SCARFC and the weak leadership of [[Umberto D'Aloia]] the presidency and thus the party were able to effectively shape public affairs; however the rise of [[Vincenzo Rustichelli]] and the replacement of Pella with [[Emilio Amato]] led to the party to become an extension of the military leadership. From 1980 onwards the party dropped its corporatist ideology instead embracing {{Wp|neoliberalism}} and {{Wp|marketisation}} of the economy.  
Hatoyama envisioned the party as a conservative, neoliberal and authoritarian organisation with strong militarist overtones. The MRP and the government as a whole was at first technocratic focused primarily on economic liberalisation and maintaining social and political stability, modelling itself from [[Senria]]'s [[People's Party (Senria)|People's Party]]. In 1996 however Hatoyama purged many of his opponents in the military and held a constitutional referendum that dramatically increased his own powers; Hatoyama subsequently won another presidential election. During his second term Hatoyama focused on dismantling democratic institutions increasingly ruling by decree and invoking a state of emergency. Repression to political opponents, labour union organisers and native Asterian groups became more pronounced in the early 2000's.


In 1985 after the forced removal of Rustichelli the regime became increasingly dominated by president [[Ignazio Antoniotto]], a technocrat who had overseen the liberalisation of the economy in his role as Minister of Public Credit. Antoniotto began talks with opposition leaders that saw the regime give way to democratic elections, as well as shifting the party from one supportive of authoritarianism to {{wp|neoconservatism}. In the 1987 election the party backed Francesco Boselli for the presidency, but lost to an overwhelming margin against [[Coalition for Democratic Action]] candidate [[Oliviero Michelozzi]].  
By the mid 2000's the MRP had gained a reputation for corruption. Hatoyama was succeeded by his brother [[Alfonso Hatoyama|Alfonso]] who was generally seen as more hardline but less politically skilled; the MRP as such continued highly repressive measures and the personal enrichment of the Hatoyama clan. In 2012 Riccardo Hatoyama's son [[Maurizio Hatoyama|Maurizio]] was elected president in what was seen as a rigged election.  


The PRN would decline by 1993 to become a third party within the Mariranan political sphere as it faced competition on the right from the newly formed [[Pole of Good Government]] led by [[Alfonso Hatoyama]]. In 2000 the PRN joined with the Pole and the [[Family First Party]] to create the [[Convergence for Freedom]], a right-wing political coalition with backed the winning candidacy of Hatoyama in the 2003 election. The PRN entered government but was locked out of some of the most senior cabinet positions due to their association with the former civic-military regime.
Following mass protests regarding concerns of vote rigging that led to Maurizio Hatoyama's resignation in February 2013 President of the Senate [[Giorgio Macciocchi]] took control of the presidency, instantly resigning from the party and governing as an independent. By this point the MRP no longer functioned having little support from the population and its members leaving in large numbers. As a result the party's executive committee in early March 2012 voted unanimously to dissolve the party and its operations.  
 
The PRN opposed the impeachment of Hatoyama in 2006 and in 2008 where able to get their leader, [[Antonella Ferramonti]], nominated as the CL candidate in the 2008 presidential election. The PRN however continued to decline in votes in the 2008 legislative elections and in 2009 agreed to merge with the Pole of Good Government to form the [[United National Party (Marirana)|United National Party]]. An extremist wing of the party rejected the merger and formed the more far-right [[Traditionalist Alliance]].

The Popular Republican Movement (Vespasian: Movimento Repubblicano Popolare; MRP) was a far-right political party that existed in Marirana from 1990 to 2012. From 1994 to 2012 it was the ruling party of Marirana being dominated by the Hatoyama family.

The MRP was created in 1992 by Riccardo Hatoyama after the administration of Ignazio Antoniotto fell out of favour with the Mariranan military, who engineered his impeachment from Congress and promoted the creation of a more right-wing, conservative party. Hatoyama, a former official from the Inter-Provincial Security Agency, won the 1994 election on what was considered to be a fraudulent ballot becoming president of Marirana.

Hatoyama envisioned the party as a conservative, neoliberal and authoritarian organisation with strong militarist overtones. The MRP and the government as a whole was at first technocratic focused primarily on economic liberalisation and maintaining social and political stability, modelling itself from Senria's People's Party. In 1996 however Hatoyama purged many of his opponents in the military and held a constitutional referendum that dramatically increased his own powers; Hatoyama subsequently won another presidential election. During his second term Hatoyama focused on dismantling democratic institutions increasingly ruling by decree and invoking a state of emergency. Repression to political opponents, labour union organisers and native Asterian groups became more pronounced in the early 2000's.

By the mid 2000's the MRP had gained a reputation for corruption. Hatoyama was succeeded by his brother Alfonso who was generally seen as more hardline but less politically skilled; the MRP as such continued highly repressive measures and the personal enrichment of the Hatoyama clan. In 2012 Riccardo Hatoyama's son Maurizio was elected president in what was seen as a rigged election.

Following mass protests regarding concerns of vote rigging that led to Maurizio Hatoyama's resignation in February 2013 President of the Senate Giorgio Macciocchi took control of the presidency, instantly resigning from the party and governing as an independent. By this point the MRP no longer functioned having little support from the population and its members leaving in large numbers. As a result the party's executive committee in early March 2012 voted unanimously to dissolve the party and its operations.
