Lega

Lega, officially known as the League, is a political party in Italy. It is generally considered right-wing and emphasizes issues like national sovereignty, immigration control, and economic liberalism. The party advocates for stricter immigration laws, reduced government intervention in the economy, and greater focus on law and order. Founded in 1991, Lega has gained popularity by appealing to voters concerned about social change and regional identity. Its leaders, notably Matteo Salvini, have played a significant role in shaping Italy’s recent political landscape, often positioning the party as an alternative to traditional mainstream parties.
