The League congress begins, a challenge between Salvini and Garavaglia on two different ideas of the party

The extraordinary congress of the League in Milan features a contest between Matteo Salvini and Massimo Garavaglia, representing differing visions for the party. Salvini defends a nationalist-sovranist approach, while Garavaglia advocates for a federalist and pragmatic identity. The congress aims to address internal divisions and reassert the party's direction. Delegates will vote on these contrasting ideas, with Salvini emphasizing unity and a strong stance on security and pension reforms. Garavaglia seeks to modernize the party's image, appealing to a broader electorate and focusing on regional interests and economic pragmatism.
