Lega Alpina Lumbarda

Lega Alpina Lumbarda was a left-wing regionalist political party in Italy. Based in Lombardy, the party was an alternative to Lega Nord and its regional section Lega Lombarda, and was led by Elidio De Paoli throughout its existence.

History

The party was founded in 1992 by De Paoli, a former blue-collar worker, local leader of the Marxist–Leninist League, and municipal councillor for the Federation of the Greens in Brescia. De Paoli was elected a member of the Senate of the Republic in the 1992 Italian general election, and was re-elected in the 1994 Italian general election.
For the 1996 Italian general election, the party joined forces with Alleanza Lombarda Autonomia, forming Lega per l'Autonomia – Alleanza Lombarda. In 2009, Lega Alpina Lumbarda, led by De Paoli, filed lists in some Lombard provincial elections. The list gained everywhere less than 1%.
