What is happening
Salvini said the Lega wins when it is united and argued that the party should focus on issues including immigration, security, the economy, Islam and artificial intelligence. The rally is expected to focus on immigration and what the party describes as the risk of “Islamisation.” Regional leaders confirmed their attendance, while Attilio Fontana denied that there is an internal war. The organisers described the event as “identitarian, Italian and combative”; no foreign guests are expected, although a video message from Vox leader Santiago Abascal was described as probable.
Why is it on the Radar?
The rally comes after tensions involving the Lega’s regional leaders and debate over the role of territories and administrators within the party. A joint statement after a meeting between Salvini and the governors said they wanted to strengthen the Lega by further valuing local administrators and territories.
