Lega Marche (English: Marche League), whose complete name is Lega Marche per Salvini Premier (English: Marche League for Salvini Premier), is a regionalist political party active in Marche. The party was a "national" section of Lega Nord (LN) from 1991 to 2000 and has been the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier (LSP) in Marche since 2020. [1]

The party's long-time leader was Luca Rodolfo Paolini, member of the Chamber of Deputies in 2008–2013 and 2018–2022. The current leader is Giorgia Latini, member of the Chamber in 2018–2020 and since 2022, elected during a party congress in June 2023.

Recent history

After the 2010 regional election the party entered the Legislative Assembly of Marche for the first time with two regional councillors, while in 2015 regional election it obtained its best result so far (13.0%) and, despite a reduction of the Assembly's numbers, obtained one more councillor. [2] In the 2020 regional election the party obtained 22.4% of the vote and 8 councillors.

In the 2019 European Parliament election the party obtained a record 38.0% of the vote.

Following the formation of Lega per Salvini Premier and the 2019 federal congress of the LN, after which the latter became practically inactive, in February 2020 the LNM was re-established as Lega Marche per Salvini Premier in order to become the regional section of the new party. The founding members of the new LM were Massimo Agostinelli, Giorgia Latini and Tullio Patassini. [3] [4] In June 2023, during a party congress, Latini was unanimously elected secretary. [5] [6] [7]

The party is a tiny one among the national sections of the LN, but it is recently gaining clout. In the 2015 regional election it won 13.0% of the vote in the region, its best result ever. While being usually stronger in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, the northern province which has historically been part of Romagna, in 2015 it obtained its best score in Macerata (17.2%).
