Lombardy Independence Movement
The Lombardy Independence Movement advocates for the region of Lombardy in northern Italy to become independent from the Italian state. Supporters argue that Lombardy, a wealthy and economically vital area, should control its own affairs and resources. The movement is driven by regional identity, economic interests, and sometimes cultural differences, reflecting a desire for greater autonomy or sovereignty. While some pursue peaceful political activism through votes or referendums, calls for independence remain a contentious issue within Italy's broader political context.
