The combined result of party list and Attilio Fontana's personal list was 30.9%. [305][306][307][308], Following the 2004 European Parliament election, Lega Nord joined the Independence/Democracy (I/D) group and later the Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN), a seemingly awkward affiliation for a party proposing a "Europe of the Regions"—but in the Lega Nord's view a state's "regions" are populated by "nations" such as the Catalans or the Lombards.

When asked to tell his most preferred politician of the 20th century, he said Giacomo Matteotti, a Socialist MP who was killed by Fascist squads in 1925 and remembered his anti-fascist and left-wing roots.[199]. In its political programme, the party is committed to the environment, supporting public green areas, the establishment of natural parks, recycling and the end (or regulation) of the construction of sheds in country areas, especially in Veneto. The party thus fought the 1994 general election in alliance with Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI) within the Pole of Freedoms coalition. The party boasts historical references to the anti-imperialist Lombard League and Alberto da Giussano (stylised in the party's symbol), the hero of the wars against Frederick I Barbarossa. Lega spaccata in due su Draghi. Despite misgivings by Bossi and the Padanist old guard, the party still had a strong autonomist outlook in the northern regions,[133] especially in Veneto where Venetian nationalism was stronger than ever before. A calare invece è Azione di Calenda, che passa dal 4,0% al 3,6%, che comunque resta avanti a Italia Viva di Renzi che, dopo il calo delle ultime settimane, fa segnare un +0,2%, attestandosi al 3,2%. The electoral results of the LN in general (Chamber of Deputies) and European Parliament elections since 1989 are shown in the chart below. Following this result, since May 2008 the party was represented in Berlusconi's fourth cabinet by four ministers (Roberto Maroni, Interior; Luca Zaia, Agriculture; Umberto Bossi, Reforms and Federalism; and Roberto Calderoli, Legislative simplification) and five under-secretaries (Roberto Castelli, Infrastructures; Michelino Davico, Interior; Daniele Molgora, Economy and Finances; Francesca Martini, Health; and Maurizio Balocchi, Legislative simplification). [244][245] Lega Nord, which has a strong agricultural wing, also supports the protection of traditional food, opposes GMOs and has campaigned for a revision of the quota system of the Common Agricultural Policy. [352] Maroni and Calderoli, who had been on opposite sides for years, joined forces against the magic circle and its influence on Bossi. During the sixth parliamentary term (1999–2004), it was briefly a component of the Technical Group of Independents (TGI) along with Italian Radicals and then returned to the Non-Inscrits. At the 1992 general election, for instance, 25.4% of the party supporters were former Christian Democratic voters, 18.5% Communists, 12.5% Socialists and 6.6% former voters of the post-fascist Italian Social Movement. Both Zaia and Cota were elected. [302], Lega Nord was originally a member of the European Free Alliance (EFA) and its first two MEPs, Francesco Speroni and Luigi Moretti, joined the Rainbow Group in the European Parliament during the fourth parliamentary term (1989–1994). After an internal crisis and struggle, the LN was briefly led by Roberto Maroni, who was elected President of Lombardy in 2013. Lega Lombarda also included liberal-conservative figures such as Gianfranco Miglio and Vito Gnutti, both former Christian Democrats, while Giovanni Meo Zilio, a Socialist partisan during the Italian Resistance, was one of the founding fathers of Liga Veneta.

[...] The project of Padania is not anti-European, this is a new Europeanism which looks at the future: a Europe of the regions, a Europe of the peoples, a truly federal Europe". Lega Nord ran the election in coalition with the PdL and the MpA, gaining a stunning 8.3% of the vote (+4.2pp) and obtaining 60 deputies (+37) and 26 senators (+13). [323] Many leghisti are committed to Catholic social teaching and the social market economy[214] and several party members are former members or voters of Christian Democracy. At the 1987 general election, another regional party, Lega Lombarda (based in Lombardy) gained national prominence when its leader Umberto Bossi was elected to the Senate. [259][260], Through the Associazione Umanitaria Padana, Lega Nord participates in humanitarian projects which are intended to respect local cultures, traditions and identities. [158], In the 2019 European Parliament election in Italy, the League won 34.3% of the vote, winning for the first time a plurality of the electorate, while the M5S stopped at 17.1%. Support for Lega Nord is diverse even within Padania and has varied over time, reaching an early maximum of 10.1% of the vote at the 1996 general election (around 25% north of the Po River). [citation needed], Third and fourth, the party has always included also a group of libertarians, whose leading members Leonardo Facco, Gilberto Oneto and Giancarlo Pagliarini have since left the party; and an Independentist Unit. Bossi, however, was then elected the federal president. [198] In 2008, Umberto Bossi explained in an interview that Lega Nord is "libertarian, but also socialist" and that the right-wing ideology he prefers is an anti-statist one with a "libertarian idea of a state which does not weigh on citizens". On that occasion, Maroni was very critical of Salvini in an interview with Il Foglio. Lega Nord gained just 8.4% of the vote, but thanks to a generous division of candidacies in Northern single-seats constituencies its parliamentary representation was almost doubled to 117 deputies and 56 senators. Throughout 2011, the party was riven in internal disputes, which Bossi's weak-as-ever leadership was not able to stop. An additional member the LN was elected from Attilio Fontana's personal list, so the number of councilors actually decreased by 2. [119] Consequently, Salvini launched his campaign to become Prime Minister. In the meantime, the LN campaigned heavily for Veneto's and Lombardy's autonomy referendums, which took place on 22 October. The party's treasurer Francesco Belsito was charged with money-laundering, embezzlement and fraud of the LN's expenses. At the 2010 regional elections, the party gained 35.2% of the vote in Veneto, 26.2% in Lombardy, 16.7% in Piedmont, 13.7% in Emilia-Romagna, 10.2% in Liguria, 6.3% in the Marche, 6.5% in Tuscany and 4.3% in Umbria. All these groups later merged into FI while a few other MPs, including Pierluigi Petrini, floor leader in the Chamber of Deputies, joined the centre-left. [200] These historical references are the base for the party's anti-monopolism and anti-centralism. Salvini: "Sarà valido per tutta Italia, "Italy's League leaves northern bastions, bangs anti-migrant drum", "Primarie Lega, vince Matteo Salvini con l'82%.

[288], Lega Nord rejects all charges of xenophobia, instead claiming that the North is the victim of discrimination and racism. The party's federal council then appointed a triumvirate composed of Maroni, Calderoli and Manuela Dal Lago, who would lead the party until a new federal congress was held. Since 2014, Salvini started to build a network of supporters in central-southern Italy and the Isles with the creation of Us with Salvini, a sister party to Lega Nord.

"), recalled an old activist saying "let's hurry up in making Padania, that I want to return voting for the left" and added "this was the League and it has to be like this anew". The party's founder was Umberto Bossi, federal secretary from 1991 to 2012. Importante battuta d’arresto, invece, per Fratelli d’Italia, il partito che ha guadagnato di più in assoluto nell’ultimo anno, che con un calo dello 0,4% si ritrova al 15,9%, superato dal M5S.

The party's MPs opposed both the Gulf War in 1991 and the NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999 in the name of pacifism and Bossi personally met Slobodan Milošević during that war. [105] The result was far worse than that of the previous European election in 2009 (−4.0pp), but better than that of 2013 general election (+2.1pp). In the 2017 leadership election, Salvini, who was focused on becoming the leader of the centre-right[114][115] and possibly changing the LN's name by ditching the word "North",[116][117][118] was re-elected leader of the party with 82.7% of the vote against his opponent Gianni Fava's 17.3%. In September 1996 in Venice, the party unilaterally proclaimed the independence of Padania at which time while reading the Padanian Declaration of Independence Bossi announced: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}, We the peoples of Padania solemnly declare that Padania is an independent and sovereign federal republic. [283] However, the Court of Cassation cancelled the sentence in 2007. The party also came second in Liguria (22.3%) and Tuscany (16.2%), third in Marche (13.0%) and Umbria (14.0%). Since Salvini's rise to leadership in 2013, the party sported the usual regional and ideological divides and especially that between Salvini and Tosi as the former displayed a more populist attitude, strongly opposed the Euro and nominally supported separatism while the latter presented himself as a more centrist figure, supported European integration, was soft on independence and unveiled a liberal program[364] for his intended run in a putative "centre-right prime-ministerial primary election". [334][335][336] Some of them spoke about joining the centre-left some time after the 2006 general election, which they were certain to lose. Partiti politici attivi a livello nazionale che hanno ottenuto almeno lo 0,25% dei voti alle elezioni politiche del 2018 o del 2013 in almeno una delle Camere, area Italia, o che sono emanazioni di gruppi parlamentari della XVII - XVIII legislatura, elencati in base al miglior risultato elettorale e al numero di seggi. [35] The position of President Chamber of Deputies was thus given to a leghista, Irene Pivetti, a young woman hailing from the Catholic faction of the party. The party was affiliated to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe until 2006, when its members joined the European Democrat Group (EDG), a diverse group stretching from the British Conservative Party to United Russia. The party's federal congress, summoned in Padua in July 2014, approved Salvini's political line, especially a plan for the introduction of a flat tax and the creation of a sister party in central-southern Italy and the Isles. In a further effort to broaden its base, the League welcomed in its electoral slates several independents, notably including Giulia Bongiorno[137] and Alberto Bagnai,[138] as well as a wide range of minor parties, including the Sardinian Action Party (PSd'Az),[139] the Italian Liberal Party (PLI)[140] and the National Movement for Sovereignty (MNS). [354][355][356] The attempted "coup d'etat" produced an umparalleled backclash against the magic circle: 49 deputies out of 59 wanted to replace Reguzzoni as floor leader in the Chamber of Deputies with Stucchi, but Bossi imposed the status quo.[357][358][359][360]. Roberto Maroni, a moderate figure who had been the party's number two since the start, was clearly Bossi's most likely successor. [389] At the 2014 European Parliament election, the party scored 15.2% in Veneto and 14.6% in Lombardy.[390]. Sondaggi politici SWG oggi 2 febbraio: la sinistra supera la destra, crollano Lega, FdI e Forza Italia Durante il Tg di La7 gli ultimi sondaggi elettorali vedono la … [262][263], The exact program of Lega Nord was not clear in the early years as some opponents claimed it wanted secession of Padania while at other times it appeared to be requesting only autonomy for Northern regions. In agreement with the PdL,[65] Luca Zaia was candidate for President in Veneto[66] and Roberto Cota in Piedmont[67] in the 2010 regional elections while in the other Northern regions, including Lombardy, the League supported candidates of the PdL. This caused several splinter groups to leave the party, including the Federalist Party (which was actually founded in June 1994) of Gianfranco Miglio, the Federalists and Liberal Democrats of Franco Rocchetta, Lucio Malan and Furio Gubetti[36] and the Federalist Italian League of Luigi Negri and Sergio Cappelli. Chiudono +Europa e Verdi con il 2,1% e il computo delle altre liste con il 3,9). I prodromi delle denominazioni "destra" e "sinistra" delle due parti opposte nell'arena politica nascono in Francia poco prima della Rivoluzione francese. [269] Moreover, the peculiarity of the LN among European regionalist parties is that its main goal has long been the transformation of Italy into a federal state instead of simply demanding special rights and autonomy for Northern regions. In fact, both Bossi and Maroni hailed from the far-left of the political spectrum, having been active in the Italian Communist Party, il manifesto movement, the Party of Proletarian Unity, Proletarian Democracy and the Greens before starting Lega Lombarda;[313][314] and conceived Lega Nord as a centre-left (and to some extent social-democratic) political force. [320][321][322] However, with the passing of time the party underwent a process of homogenisation. [178] The League is an official cooperation partner of the Russian governing party United Russia.[181]. After being temporarily forbidden from speaking at the party's public meetings,[68] Maroni gained the upper hand in January 2012. The party was nonetheless frequently referred to only as "Lega" even before the rebranding as well as Carroccio. However, in the 2020 Emilia-Romagna regional election the party's candidate, Lucia Borgonzoni, stopped at 43.6% of the vote and was defeated by incumbent President Stefano Bonaccini (PD). According to its leader, the alliance was a "broad democratic arch, composed of the democratic right, namely AN, the great democratic centre, namely Forza Italia, CCD and CDU, and the democratic left represented by the League, the New PSI, the PRI and, at least I hope so, Cossiga". [309], Following the 2009 European Parliament election, Lega Nord joined the newly formed the Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) group. Since 2008, besides the traditional regional divides, the party was increasingly divided among three groups. [312] In March 2017 the LN signed a cooperation protocol with United Russia.[181]. [78] In the 6–7 May local elections, the League was crushed almost everywhere[79] while retaining the city of Verona, where Tosi, the incumbent mayor, was re-elected by a landslide;[80] and a few other strongholds. [134][135][136] Additionally, the League maintained its power base in the North, where it continued to get most of its support. The combined result of party list and Donatella Tesei's personal list was 40.9%. Currently, Giancarlo Giorgetti and Lorenzo Fontana serve as deputy secretaries, while Roberto Calderoli coordinates the national sections. As neither of the three main groupings (the centre-right, the PD-led centre-left and the M5S) obtained a majority of seats in Parliament, the League entered in coalition talks with the M5S which was the most voted party with 32.7% of the vote. Consequently, Matteo Salvini defeated Bossi in a leadership election and became secretary. Se chiedono ci sono. Combined result of party list (16.9%) and Luca Zaia's personal list (44.6%). [108] In December, Us with Salvini (NcS) was launched. [90] Of these, only Bossi and Salvini gathered the 1,000 necessary signatures by party members to take part to the internal "primary" and Salvini collected four times the signatures gathered by Bossi. Roughly 4 million northern Italians (6 million according to the party) went to the polls and chose between a number of Padanian parties. The Lega Nord (English: Northern League; whose complete name is Lega Nord per l'Indipendenza della Padania; abbr. [363] These party infightings ended with Bossi's demise in February 2012 (see Lega Nord#From Bossi to Maroni). [271][272][273] Especially under the leadership of Matteo Salvini and the influence of professor Claudio Borghi, the party has proposed the abandonment of the Euro by Italy, although this has been opposed by some party heavyweights, notably including Flavio Tosi. [274][275], However, according to Roberto Maroni the party is not Eurosceptic and stands for a "new Europeanism". Lega Nord has long opposed statism[189] and supports lower taxes, especially for families and small entrepreneurs,[236] most recently in the form of a 15% flat tax for all. Accuse e liti in casa", "Ma il Carroccio resta in fibrillazione: Reguzzoni ora è un caso", "Tregua armata nella Lega. Between 1994 and 1997, it was a member of the group of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR)[303][304] and one MEP of Lega Nord, Raimondo Fassa, continued to sit in the ELDR group until 1999. Bossi asked Maroni to negotiate an agreement with Massimo D'Alema, who had described Lega Nord as "a rib of the left". Choc sulle tasse, aliquota unica", "Italy's Election: everything you need to know", "Stucchi (Lega Nord): "Su Alitalia staremo in guardia più dell'Ue, "Al diavolo Alitalia, che fallisca! [237][238] In earlier times, the party campaigned for a stop of the flow of public money in help to big businesses facing crisis as for FIAT[239] and Alitalia. Two other members of the LN were elected from Donatella Tesei's personal list, so the number of councilors actually increased by 10. [171][172][173][174] In the election the party performed strongly in its northern strongholds, especially Veneto (49.9%) and Lombardy (43.4%), obtaining as usual most of its votes in small towns, as well as increasing its share of vote all around the country. Former leading members include Gianfranco Miglio (the political scientist who developed the concept of "Padania"), Franco Rocchetta (founder of Liga Veneta), Irene Pivetti (former president of the Chamber of Deputies), Gipo Farassino (founder of Piemont Autonomista) and Roberto Cota (former President of Piedmont). [289][290] After more than fifteen years of government by Lega Nord, the Province of Treviso is widely considered the place in Italy where immigrants are best integrated. One year later, Lega Nord was part of Berlusconi's House of Freedoms in the 2001 general election. [120][121][122] When the referendums were over, with strong opposition by Bossi, Salvini persuaded the party's federal council to style the party simply as "Lega", including NcS, in the upcoming general election. The wing from the province of Varese and more broadly the bulk of the original Lega Lombarda (including Umberto Bossi, Roberto Maroni and Marco Formentini) has tended to be the left-wing of the party while that from the province of Bergamo (notably Roberto Calderoli) has tended to be more conservative. [37][315] From the left came also Marco Formentini, a long-time member of the left-wing of the Italian Socialist Party;[316] and Rosi Mauro, a trade unionist of the metal workers' section of the Italian Labour Union and later leader of the Padanian Trade Union (SinPa). [397] The party also made Va, pensiero by Giuseppe Verdi Padania's "national" anthem.[398]. ... La Lega di Bossi nacque come forma di reazione della piccola e media impresa del Nord … Sondaggi politici SWG oggi 2 febbraio: la sinistra supera la destra, crollano Lega, FdI e Forza... Martedì, 2 Febbraio 2021 Investire Oggi. Among other things, he was accused of having taken money away from the party's chest and paid it out to Bossi's family and other members of the magic circle, notably including Mauro. For us there are the Lombards, not those of right or left". The second was formed around Roberto Calderoli, who was the powerful coordinator of Lega Nord's national secretariats and had among his closest supporters Giacomo Stucchi and Davide Boni. [107] In November, the Emilia-Romagna regional election represented a major step for Salvini's "national project": the LN, which won 19.4% of the vote, was the region's second-largest and resulted far ahead of FI, paving the way for a bid for the leadership of the centre-right. That year, the League scored 29.3% of the vote in Veneto, 25.5% in Lombardy, 23.2% in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 18.2% in Piedmont, 13.2% in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, 10.2% in Liguria, 7.2% in Emilia-Romagna, 1.8% in Tuscany, 1.5% in the Marche and 1.0% in Umbria. Notably, Angela Maraventano, former deputy mayor of Lampedusa, was a senator of Lega Nord. [43] Gnutti and Comino were expelled in 1999 after they had formed local alliances with the centre-right. [211] According to a 1996 Abacus poll, 28.7% of LN voters identified as centrist, 26.3% as right-wingers and 22.1% as left-wingers. More shockingly, on 5 April, Bossi resigned as the federal secretary. Coordinator of National Sections/Organisational Secretary: Coordinator of Federal Secretariat/Legislative Office: Federal Administrative Secretary/Administrator: This page was last edited on 9 February 2021, at 10:44. The campaigns are carried out in poor countries or in those that have suffered from war or natural catastrophes. Typically left-wing policies. The party has always opposed illegal immigration and has often adopted Eurosceptic stances, lately joining the Identity and Democracy Party at the European level. [88][89] A congress was scheduled for mid December and in accordance to the new rules set for the leadership election five candidates filed their bid to become secretary: Umberto Bossi, Matteo Salvini, Giacomo Stucchi, Manes Bernardini and Roberto Stefanazzi. [317], Since its foundation, Liga Veneta was instead characterised as a liberal, centrist and economically libertarian outfit due to the political upbringing of its early leaders and a more conservative electoral base. In Veneto, the turnout was 57.2% and those who voted "yes" reached 98.1% whereas in Lombardy the figures were 38.3% and 95.3%. [40] Pivetti left a few months after the election. The rise of Maroni and his fellow maroniani was obstacled by a group of Bossi's loyalists, whom journalists called the "magic circle". Calderoli contro Maroni. Calderoli's line had the backing of Federico Bricolo, Cota, Reguzzoni and chiefly Bossi while Maroni was backed by Giorgetti, Speroni, Zaia and Tosi. Although it is no longer a member of the European Free Alliance, the party has ties with many regionalist parties around Europe, including left-wing parties such as the Republican Left of Catalonia. [50][51], The coalition won handily the election, but the LN was further reduced to 3.9% while being returned in Parliament thanks to the victories scored by the League members in single-seat constituencies. [95] Ahead of the 2014 European Parliament election, Salvini started to cooperate with Marine Le Pen, leader of the French National Front; and Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom. Despite this, Bossi decided instead to approach Berlusconi, who was the front-runner in the upcoming 2001 general election. Despite misgivings by Bossi and the Padanist old guard, the party's power base remains in the North, where its gets most of its support and where it has kept its traditional autonomist outlook, especially in Veneto where Venetian nationalism is on the rise. Governisti e Nord spingono per il sì Tutto il centrodestra in ordine sparso. In crescita troviamo anche il comparto della Sinistra che passa dal 3,8% al 4,0% facendo segnare un +0,2%. By 1996, a total of 40 deputies and 17 senators had left the party while Maroni had instead returned to the party's fold after months of coldness with Bossi.[37][38]. This is because Lega Nord, as a "people's party" representing the North as a whole, includes both liberal-conservative and social democratic factions. Il dato più importante è l’estrema variabilità che è possibile notare da una settimana all’altra: la crisi di governo, per i più inspiegabile, sta diventando un vero e proprio rebus, e gli italiani sembrano, almeno in questo momento, premiare più le forze che vorrebbero sanare la situazione che quelle che invocano le urne. Per esempio, che un ex vice vicesindaco e oggi consigliere regionale, arrivato prima a Palazzo Moroni e poi a Palazzo Balbi, con il sostegno della sinistra, compreso il … [58] As of late March 2011, all the most important decrees of the reform were approved by the Parliament and Bossi publicly praised the Democrats' leader Pier Luigi Bersani for not having opposed the decisive decree on regional and provincial fiscality. In the 2018 Italian general election, no political group or party won an outright majority, resulting in a hung parliament. The matter was made part of a larger investigation by Italian authorities into the League's finances. [338][339] However, the alliance with the centre-right continued at the regional/local level (Veneto, Piedmont, Lombardy and others municipalities) after 2011 and has become a virtually permanent feature of Lega Nord's electoral politics. In 2018 the party made a proposal to make it mandatory for crucifixes to be displayed in all public spaces, including ports, schools, embassies and prisons, with fines of up to €1,000 for failing to comply.[233][234][235]. [69] During a factional rally in Varese, he launched direct attacks on Reguzzoni and Mauro in the presence of a puzzled Bossi. In September 2013, Maroni announced he would soon leave the party's leadership. After a huge success at the 1996 general election, its best result so far (10.1%, 59 deputies and 27 senators),[39] Lega Nord announced that it wanted the secession of northern Italy under the name of Padania. Italian authorities are currently investigating the matter. After earning resounding victories in the provincial congresses of Verona, Belluno and eastern Veneto during the first half of 2011, maroniani (with the support of calderoliani) prevailed also in Brescia and Val Camonica, defeating the candidates of the magic circle by landslides.
