Movement of National Responsibility

The Movement of National Responsibility (Movimento di Responsabilità Nazionale, MRN) was a small centrist parliamentary political party in Italy led by Domenico Scilipoti.

The party was founded on 9 December 2010 by three deputies coming from centre-left parties and headed to support the centre-right government led by Silvio Berlusconi: Massimo Calearo (ex-PD and ex-ApI), Bruno Cesario (ex-PD and ex-ApI) and Domenico Scilipoti (ex-IdV).

[3] On 20 January 2011 the MRN was a founding component of Responsible Initiative, a centre-right group in the Italian Chamber of Deputies.

[4][5] In October 2012, the balance of accounts of the People of Freedom showed that the Movement of National Responsibility had received €49,000 of financial support from PdL for posters advertising the MRN's founding congress.

[7] The neologism seems to describe such a sudden transformation of political ideas and, particularly, of Parliament position (in Italy known as il salto della quaglia – the jump of the quail) [8] for uncertain personal reasons but, certainly, for the advantage of the new political side.
