He accompanied Argentine Nahuel Moreno in the foundation and in the top direction for 8 years of the International Workers League - Fourth International (LIT-CI), which fought intransigently all Stalinist governments around the world, coming to act clandestinely sustained in the countries under red tyrannies after the Iron Curtainand in the USSR itself, until its collapse caused by the democratic political revolutions with which Franceschi actively collaborated in its preparation for 18 years.[2]

When winning the expulsion processes of the communists of power Franceschi finally left his political activity at the end of the 1980s when he abandoned all political activity and his Trotskyist ideology with which he entered into open contradiction, and is dedicated to the private family business in transportation heavy and simultaneously to agriculture and breeding.

In 1996, he temporarily separated from his private activity to return to political activity, but this time under a markedly different ideological sign, rather from the center-right, since he dedicated himself to building the political organization Project Venezuela throughout the country. 2 years later in 1998, he was appointed campaign manager of the presidential candidate of the former governor of the Carabobo state, Henrique Salas Römer, belonging to the Project Venezuela party. When Hugo Chávez won the elections, he is elected deputy and head of the parliamentary fraction of Project Venezuela.[3][4]
