Why It Matters
The resignation is a formal step necessary to allow Matteo Salvini to reappear at the extraordinary congress of the League scheduled for 24 and 25 October in Milan.
The leader of the League Matteo Salvini resigned from the role of secretary, a formal but necessary step, at a regulatory level, in order to be able to reappear at the extraordinary congress in Milan on 24 and 25 October. As a consequence, the positions of deputy secretary have been eliminated. Until the congress, treasurer Alberto Di Rubba has been appointed as party commissioner and will act as regent. The congress will be chaired by Lorenzo Fontana, president of the Chamber and parliamentarian of the Northern League.
Durigon, Sardone and Stefani also resigned
