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%.
