Lega approves Southern Italy motion at federal congress

The Lega party's federal congress has approved a political motion for the Mezzogiorno, aiming to integrate Southern Italy into the party's national project. The motion, signed by key figures including Gianpiero Zinzi, Roberto Marti, and Luca Sammartino, proposes a model of federalism based on 'unity in diversity' to value regional specificities without creating conflict between the North and South.

Key priorities outlined in the document include the implementation of a single Special Economic Zone (ZES), infrastructure development, and support for businesses and employment. The initiative seeks to leverage the South's productive, logistical, and energy roles to ensure stable growth that continues beyond the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). Additionally, the motion emphasizes linking economic development with security, legality, and immigration management.
