The request for the congress
The promoters – including former Lega parliamentarian Gianluca Pini – have been asking for years to hold the congress of Lega Nord, today downgraded to a “bad company” to pay the 49 million from the Bossi management that Lega must return to the State. The purpose of the congress would be to “snatch” Lega Nord from the control of the current commissioner Igor Iezzi, a loyalist of Salvini.

Uncertain adherence
It remains to be seen who will join the initiative in the “northern” front opposing Salvini’s line and including governors Attilio Fontana (Lombardy), Massimiliano Fedriga (Friuli-Venezia Giulia), Maurizio Fugatti (province of Trento) and former president of Veneto Luca Zaia, as well as the Senate group leader Massimiliano Romeo. A front that has asked the secretary for collegial management of the party and is working on the establishment of a northern cultural association (effectively a faction) within the Lega Salvini premier.

The goal is to hold a congress, elect a party secretary, and present themselves in the next elections against Salvini’s national and sovereign Lega, relaunching a federalist Lega that centers on the northern issue. The newly formed committee would have “already been joined by hundreds of old Lega members who can no longer tolerate Salvini’s operations.”
