Benito Mussolini Gathering (Kingdom of Italy)

The Benito Mussolini Gathering (Italian: Raggruppamento Benito Mussolini, R.B.M.) is an Italian political coalition of far-right and nationalist political movements created by the Fascist Regime in 2009, grouping the legally permitted parties in the country. It aims to bring together Italian sympathizers of Fascism who prefer do not take open sides. The most important subjects within the RBM are the party Sovereignty, Independence and Liberties (Sovranità, Indipendenza e Libertà, S.I.L.), the Social Entente (Intesa Sociale, I.S.) and few other petty political parties and independents politicians. This is aimed to avoid that Italians who do not fully embrace Fascist principles but are sympathizers to Fascism may be diverted by foreign manipulation.

Parties constituing the Benito Mussolini Gathering holds no real power independent of the P.N.F.; it exists mainly to give pluralist forces a platform in the Italian society. Its leaders are mostly "suggested" by the Fascist National Party. The member parties which exist are almost completely subservient to the P.N.F. and accept its "leading role". The other parties are structured like the P.N.F., with a Secretary, National Council, and Political Bureau, the overall head remaining Duce Debalti. Despite their subservience, they retain significant membership.
