Lega Nord by Daniele Mattioli
Lega Nord (Northern League, LN), whose complete name is Lega Nord per l'Indipendenza della Padania (North League for the Independence of Padania), is a political party in Italy founded in 1991 as a federation of several regional parties of Northern and Central Italy, most of which had arisen and expanded their share of the electorate over the 1980s. Its political program advocates the transformation of Italy into a federal State, fiscal federalism and greater regional autonomy, especially for the Northern regions, which they call Padania; at times it has advocated secession. In the latest European Election the Lega Nord has obtained more than 10 per cent nationally becoming the third party in Italy. The Meeting in Pontida was held a week after their biggest success ever since the party was founded. The reportage is a close look on the supporters and people who are representing the voters of this party, mostly from North Italy the party is also becoming popular in Central Italy.
