The Sicilian National Movement (Italian: Movimento Nazionale Siciliano, MNS) is a separatist coalition of parties active in Sicily.

The coalition was launched in November 2016[1] and officially founded in January 2017. Its three founding members were: Sicily Nation (SN), the Movement for the Independence of Sicily (MIS; re-edition of the separatist party which was active after World War II) and the Sicilian National Front (FNS).[2]

Since its foundation, the MNS supported Gaetano Armao, SN leader, for President of Sicily in the 2017 regional election.[3][4]

In the summer of 2017 Armao, with the support of the MNS,[5] launched a broader Union of Indignant Sicilians (Unione dei Siciliani Indignati, USI),[6][7][8] received the support of Silvio Berlusconi and Forza Italia (FI),[9][10] and was selected as candidate for Vice President, in ticket with candidate for President Nello Musumeci, representing a broad centre-right coalition, notably including FI, Brothers of Italy, Us with Salvini, the Party of Sicilians and the Union of the Centre.[11][12][13][14]

After the election, in which the MNS did not field own lists, and Musumeci's election as President, Armao was sworn in as Vice President and minister of Economy.[15]
