Pro Lombardy Independence
Pro Lombardy Independence was an independentist party active in Lombardy, Italy.
The party, which was launched in 2011, was led by Alfredo Gatta; the spokesman is Alessandro Ceresoli.
The first objective of the party was the independence of the present-day Lombardy region, but it hopes for a unification of the 'Historical Lombardy', which in its eyes includes Emilia, the provinces of Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and the commune of Tortona, and the 'Swiss Lombardia'.
According to its former president Giovanni Roversi, 'We don't want independence to build walls nor in opposition to other peoples: for us, a Sicilian is a European brother as is a citizen from Bavaria or from Galicia. We have an inclusive speech”.
The party was a member of the European Free Alliance.
