What is happening
A video honoring Bossi was shown to activists, followed by “Va, pensiero,” while a plaque dedicated to him was unveiled by Matteo Salvini. Supporters chanted and raised green smoke flares. Massimiliano Romeo proposed a Confederated League divided between North, Centre and South, while Luca Zaia said the territories of origin should remain those of the North within a national unity project. Zaia also rejected speculation about becoming secretary, saying there was already a secretary.

The gathering highlighted the Lega’s first national meeting without its founder and exposed different emphases within the party: Romeo advocated a structure combining national and territorial elements, while Zaia stressed the continuing centrality of the North and its specific concerns.
