Lega Nord Friuli-Venezia Giulia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lega Nord Friuli-Venezia Giulia (North League Friuli-Venezia Giulia) is a regionalist Italian political party which is the regional section of Lega Nord in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
It was founded in 1990 as Lega Nord Friuli and was later merged with Lega Nord Trieste to form a united regional section. Most of its founding members came from the Friuli Movement.
The party is temporarily led by Manuela Dal Lago, national president of Liga Veneta. It is represented in the institutions by two deputies (Fulvio Follegot and Massimiliano Fedriga), one senator (Mario Pittoni) and eight regional deputies. Pietro Fontanini, former national president of Lega Nord Friuli, is the President of the Province of Udine.
[edit] Popular support
In the past ten years Lega Nord suffered big lossess in term of votes. Anyway, the strongholds of the party remain in Friuli, the eastern part of the region: in the 2008 general election it won 19.0% in the Province of Pordenone and 14.4% in Udine.
