Matteo Salvini was confirmed as secretary of the League, in office until 2029.

The party's federal congress, convened in Florence, decided this by approving, by acclamation, his candidacy, the only one presented.

The outcome of the vote was greeted with applause from the members of the Northern League, all standing, gathered in the Fortezza da Basso for the congress. As a result of the new statute approved yesterday, his mandate is extended by twelve months and will therefore last 4 years.

Salvini was elected for the first time in 2013 and this is his third confirmation at the helm of the League.
