Overview

  • Silvia Sardone and Roberto Vannacci were officially confirmed as vice secretaries by the Lega federal council on May 15, following recent amendments to the party statute.
  • Sardone, a eurodeputata since 2019, is the first woman to hold a vice secretary position in the party and brings strong electoral support, having received over 75,000 votes in the 2024 European elections.
  • Roberto Vannacci, a former general and recent party member, was also named vice secretary, with his appointment facilitated by the removal of tenure requirements in the revised statute.
  • Alberto Stefani and Claudio Durigon were reconfirmed as vice secretaries, while Andrea Crippa transitions to a new senior role within the party.
  • The leadership restructuring is part of Matteo Salvini’s strategy to strengthen internal cohesion and prepare for key policy initiatives, including a focus on fiscal relief measures.
