Overview
- The federal council met in person at Via Bellerio in Milan, avoided a showdown, and acknowledged errors as collective rather than individual.
- The party ruled that Vannacci-linked groups such as Il Mondo al Contrario may act as associations but not as political alternatives, reinforcing in‑person federal meetings to tighten discipline.
- Vannacci skipped the meeting for a European Parliament plenary and later said team members can seek candidacy, while party sources stressed the teams are not alternative to the Lega and noted some are already on Veneto lists.
- Lega set targets for late‑November votes, seeking to be the leading party in Veneto and to post record results in Campania and Puglia, with Luca Zaia and candidate Alberto Stefani highlighted.
- The council advanced a platform focused on the 2026 budget, stricter immigration measures including limits on family reunifications and a points‑based permit, a February 14 rally in Milan, and higher bank contributions earmarked for security and social priorities.
