The League explodes in Lombardy: three regional councilors leave

They are called Roberto Mura, Frederick Lena And Antonello Formenti. They are three Lombard regional councilors. And today they announced their farewell to the League, with the intention of setting up a new group in the Region. It is another effect of the landslides that are shaking Matteo Salvini’s party, above all in Lombardy, the epicenter of the boom and historical roots which, however, is now increasingly the plastic synthesis of a palpable chaos (as well as a photograph of what the Northern League ruling class has become). But it is also the anticipation of what could happen in the next few days, with other councilors ready to tear up the party card.

Also given the reasons given by the three, it is clear that the decision was not a head-on. Instead, it is a long-considered choice, accelerated by the birth of the northern component North Committee by Umberto Bossi, which aims to recover the autonomist identity of the Carroccio. And in fact, in a brief statement signed by the three councilors, we read that the farewell arose from “internal malaise, the non-predisposition to listen to the innumerable territorial criticalities and the total abandonment of Northernist autonomist issues”. A full assist to those who in this phase recognize themselves in the requests of the Northern Committee led by Paolo Grimoldi. Who explained to our newspaper what the objective of this new kind of current is: “Dream, identity or the League dies”. Passwords around which you recognize many militants who in recent years had distanced themselves from the project of a national league.

The fact is that while the secretary sees some symbolic places such as Bergamo, Brescia, Lodi and Cremona “fall” (where secretaries close to the Bossian line have won), now the Northern League divisions also have repercussions on the administration which more than all in recent years has attempted to give an idea of ​​compactness and solidity to the outside: precisely the Lombardy Region. Where in a few months we will return to vote. And where the support to the outgoing Attilio Fontana is endangered by the candidacy of Letizia Moratti, who risks gathering much of the disapproval that is spreading on the right at a local level. This always considering that, as Carmelo Caruso recounted on Foglio, the region has now become a kind of employment center for Northern League supporters close to Salvini. The fact of moving away from it, trying to take another path, is also the signal that someone no longer considers that model of power management so unshakeable.
