Lega official calls for party unity ahead of Federal Congress
Mario Abbruzzese, the Regional Organization Secretary for the Lega in Lazio, has addressed internal party tensions ahead of the upcoming Federal Congress. Abbruzzese called for an end to attempts to delegitimize the party leadership, asserting that the leader's mandate comes directly from the congress base.
He emphasized that political debates should occur within official party venues rather than through leaks or unofficial interviews. Abbruzzese also defended the party's national expansion, noting that the Lega's presence in Lazio—including senators, deputies, and local officials—demonstrates that its values resonate beyond its traditional northern Italian roots. The party aims to focus its agenda on security, taxation, pensions, and infrastructure.
