New front for Salvini, exes clean up the Northern League

The article discusses internal divisions within Italy's League party (Lega), focusing on a new challenge facing leader Matteo Salvini. A group of former parliamentarians and regional secretaries is attempting to regain control of the old Lega Nord by pushing for a federal congress, rather than supporting the current 'Lega Salvini Premier'. This move comes amid tensions between Salvini's faction and other members who want more collaborative leadership and greater attention to northern issues. The article highlights criticism from Salvini's supporters, who accuse these rebels of undermining the party and seeking personal gain. Prominent figures like Gianluca Pini argue that the existing leadership has violated the party's rules and seeks to revive the old Lega Nord through legal action. The situation reflects broader struggles within the party over direction and governance.
