Roberto Vannacci announced from the Versiliana stage that Carmelo Burgio will be the Futuro Nazionale candidate for the next Milan municipal elections. Burgio is a Carabinieri general whom Vannacci presented as a man of the institutions, highlighting his experience at the Antimafia Investigative Directorate and his background as a paratrooper.

Born in Anzio in 1957, Carmelo Burgio completed his training at the Nunziatella military college in Naples and the Modena Academy. His career developed within the elite units of the Carabinieri, at the 1st Paratroopers Regiment Tuscania and the Special Intervention Group. He served in missions in Iraq, Albania, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. He also served in the security detail of President of the Republic Francesco Cossiga.

During his speech, Vannacci linked Burgio's candidacy to the issue of security, stating that with him Milan would return to being the city of the Madonnina and not of the maranza. He also urged voters to trust Burgio, claiming that Milan would be turned inside out like a sock. He added that Burgio has great experience in security and that if asked to sweep the Rogoredo area he would know how to do it, without the advice of Prefect Gabrielli. Vannacci also announced that the movement will be present in all major cities, citing Milan, Bologna, and Rome, and will run in the next political elections.

The Milan municipal elections are scheduled for spring 2027. The date of the vote has not yet been set and will be indicated in the decree convening the elections. Under current regulations, the elections will be held on a Sunday between April 15 and June 15, 2027.

Alongside the announcement of Burgio's candidacy, a concern was recorded within the League regarding the timing of the vote. According to reports, Minister Roberto Calderoli expressed the fear that an early vote in April would penalize the completion of agreements on differentiated autonomy, as a too-close election date would not leave enough time to finalize the arrangements with the interested regions.

Vannacci also referred to the electoral results of the German party AfD in the Saxony-Anhalt region, where polls would place it above 41%. The leader of Futuro Nazionale expressed the hope that his movement would follow in AfD's footsteps, while clarifying that he had not compared the two parties. He explained that the two movements share a vision of Europe and sovereign nations as part of the same group in the European Parliament, Europe of Sovereign Nations, while each maintains its own national peculiarities.
