High-voltage connection: the northern frond launches the legal battle over the old symbol and compacts around Romeo and Fontana

The Lega party in Italy is facing internal tensions and legal battles over its historical identity and leadership. The northern faction, led by figures like Massimiliano Romeo and Attilio Fontana, has launched a legal challenge to reclaim the old symbol of the Lega Nord, which was originally granted to the historic movement. This comes amid controversy surrounding Romeo’s exclusion from the upcoming convention program, though he plans to attend despite being omitted from the schedule. Fontana defended Romeo against calls for his removal, emphasizing the need for unity within the party. Meanwhile, the 'Comitato per il Congresso Federale,' led by Gianluca Pini, is gathering support to demand an extraordinary congress, citing legal grounds under Article 20 of the Civil Code. Their goal is to force the party leadership, currently overseen by Igor Iezzi, to reconvene the assembly, potentially re-opening discussions about the party's legacy and leadership.
