La Lega

La Lega, or the League, is an Italian political party that began as a regional movement advocating for northern Italy's interests. Over time, it expanded into a national party emphasizing issues like immigration control, economic reform, and skepticism toward the European Union. Known for its populist stance, La Lega promotes policies aimed at strengthening Italian sovereignty, reducing government regulation, and addressing concerns about globalization. Its leader, Matteo Salvini, has been a prominent figure shaping its modern identity, appealing to voters seeking change from traditional politics.
