Liga Norte

Lega Nord, also known as the Northern League, is a political party in Italy that primarily advocates for the interests of northern Italy. Founded in the early 1990s, it emphasizes regional autonomy, stricter immigration controls, and fiscal conservatism. The party originally sought greater independence or greater powers for northern regions, arguing they contribute more economically than they receive from the central government. Over time, its platform expanded to include national issues, often characterized by nationalist and Eurosceptic sentiments. Lega Nord has been influential in Italian politics, shaping debates on regionalism, immigration, and Italy’s relationship with the European Union.
