In early 2022, several minor parties and groups including Marco Rizzo's Communist Party (PC), Antonio Ingroia's Civil Action (AC), Stefano D'Andrea's Reconquer Italy (RI), Francesco Toscano's Italy Again (AI) and Adriano Duina's United Italy (IU) agreed on joining their forces in opposition to the policies of Mario Draghi's government of national unity.

[5] On 5 July 2022, the parties announced a cooperation for the next general election; on 25 July, following Draghi's resignation as prime minister following the 2022 Italian government crisis, the parties launched on social media their joint list for the upcoming 2022 Italian general election in September, named Sovereign and Popular Italy (ISP).

[6][7][8][9] On 1 August, the member parties officially launched ISP during a press conference in the Italian Senate;[10] Rizzo described the alliance as "the only alternative against the liberist, warmonger and sanitary totalitarianism".

[11] On the following day, MEP Francesca Donato (leader of Republican Rebirth) announced that she will not run for the next elections, stating that the anti-establishment front was "fragmented and disorganized".

[14] In December D'Andrea announced that ISP was dissolved, by mutual agreement of the other two leading members, Rizzo and Toscano.
