The leader of the party is the former Senator Laura Bignami, while the national spokesperson is Giampaolo Sablich, her husband and former city councilor of Busto Arsizio.
[1] MX was launched in July 2014 by four senators who had left (or had been expelled from) the Five Star Movement (M5S),[2][3] a populist party which had come first in the 2013 general election, over disagreements with Beppe Grillo's and Gianroberto Casaleggio's leadership, but did not want to team up with the already-existent Italy Work in Progress.
During 2015 Bartolomeo Pepe left the party in order to join, along with Paola De Pin (another ex-M5S senator formerly affiliated to Italy Work in Progress), the Federation of the Greens, [4][5][6] while Maurizio Romani left to join Italy of Values.
[7][8] Maria Mussini left later, leaving Laura Bignami as the party's only senator.
In 2021 Laura Bignami was a candidate for mayor of Busto Arstizio with the support of the X Movement,[9] but she scored just 1.6% of the vote.
