The Sega, founded just six years ago, thus ended in five decades of domination of the two parties, the center -right and the center -left, which had prevailed after the end of the fascist dictatorship in 1974.

Sega has allied with anti -immigration parties, such as Marin Lepen’s national alarm in France and the AfD in Germany.
