Lega per Salvini Premier

Lega per Salvini Premier, commonly called the League or Lega, is a right-wing political party in Italy founded by Matteo Salvini. It originally focused on advocating for northern Italy’s interests, especially economic and regional issues, but has expanded its platform nationwide. The party emphasizes stricter immigration controls, national sovereignty, law and order, and euroscepticism—opposing deeper European Union integration. It aims to prioritize Italy’s interests by promoting security, reducing immigration, and challenging mainstream political establishments. The League has gained significant popular support in recent years, positioning itself as a defender of traditional Italian values and national independence.
