I wanted to know who was being considered an anti-establishment party.

> Exiting the Eurozone and reverting to national currencies is pretty much the only answer to fix their economies.

We had this argument in 2008ish and Syriza abandoned the plan, after (correctly) realising that crashing out of the Euro would be worse.

2008 was 12 years ago. How well has the Italian economy fared in the interim?

It's been stagnant ever since joining the Euro, and nothing material has changed which would improve matters, and I don't see the status quo being tenable. 2008 might not have been the tipping point, but doing something which isn't in the long term interest of people can't continue indefinitely.
