Lega Sardegna


Lega Sardegna, whose complete name is Lega Sardegna per Salvini Premier, is a regionalist and Sardinian nationalist political party active in Sardinia, Italy.

History

The party was established as Lega Nord Sardinia in 2010, but, despite being loosely affiliated with Lega Nord through Roberto Mura, it was never recognised among the LN's "national" sections. At its beginnings, LNS's main local leader was Giorgio Ladu, a former national secretary of the social-democratic Sardinian Action Party. The party became the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier in Sardinia in 2020.
In the 2009 European Parliament election, LN won 0.7% in the region. The party was strongest in the province of Ogliastra, Ladu's political base, and in the province of Olbia-Tempio. In the 2010 provincial elections, the party won 2.9% in Ogliastra, 1.5% in Olbia-Tempio, 0.8% in Sassari and 0.4% in Cagliari.
In the 2014 European Parliament election, LN won 1.4% in the region, doing better in the Province of Olbia-Tempio than anywhere else.
In the 2018 general election, candidates of the PSd'Az ran within the "Lega - Salvini Premier" list, as the LN and the PSd'Az had formed an alliance. The alliance managed to get 10.8% of the vote and Christian Solinas, leader of the PSd'Az, was elected to the Senate, while Guido De Martini, a local activist of the LN, was elected to the Chamber.
In the 2019 regional election the League successfully supported Solinas for President. Solinas won 47.8% of the vote. The League was the leading force of the local centre-right coalition, gaining 11.4% and 8 seats in the regional council.
In 2020, the LS became the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier. Since 2021, it has been led by Dario Giagoni.
In the 2024 regional election the party obtained 3.8% of the vote and two regional councillors.
