LEGA NORD Seveso - Official Web Site
Welcome to Padania!
Small political movements campaigning in defence of local cultural traditions in the geographic area of Northern-Italy were formed after WWII, but they could never achieve remarkable success and change the course of Italian politics. On the other hand, tensions between il Nord and il Sud have always been smouldering and they exploded when the crisis of the State-run economy and the necessity of conforming our economy to the European standards made the burden of an unproductive South no longer tolerable for the North. The Lega Nord party was formed when the cultural and the economic demands merged; its symbol is a medieval warrior, in memory of the victorious struggles of the North-Italian Comuni for self-rule in the 12th and 13th Centuries. Local branches of the League are active in all Regions of the North: Valle D'Aosta; Piedmont (Turin); Lombardia (Milan); the Veneto (Venice); Liguria (Genoa); Trentino-Alto Adige/Süd Tirol (Trento); Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Trieste); Emilia-Romagna (Bologna); and also Tuscany (Florence); the Marche (Ancona); and Umbria (Perugia).
Padania is the name given to the geographic area of these Regions which are now struggling together as a federation to achieve cultural and economic independence.
The Northern League is the party which gives political expression to the federalist movement and proposes implementation of the federalist idea as a solution to the cultural and economic crisis.
The crisis of the State-run economy in Italy coincided with the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the unveiling of the financial crisis which besets most major nation-States in the West, Japan, and elsewhere. Of course each case has its own particular features, but there are some common threads.
