Parlamento della Padania |
The Padanian Parliament is divided internally into competing political forces that ranged from communists to socialists to liberals, Christian democrats, and national conservatives, all sharing Padanian nationalism. The 1997 election also included candidates from the Pannella List led by Benedetto Della Vedova, who was elected within the assembly.
At the gazebo of Lega Nord, every five years are elected the representatives of the parties and the prime minister of Padania. In chronological order, from 1996 onwards, the prime minetsers were Giancarlo Pagliarini, Vito Gnutti, Manuela Dal Lago, Mario Borghezio, Francesco Speroni, and Roberto Maroni. On 10 February 2007, at the request of Umberto Bossi, the founder of Lega Nord and its then federal secretary, the Padanian Parliament recovened itself in Vicenza, in the villa Bonin Maistrello. With Silvio Berlusconi's resignation and the end of the foruth Berlusconi government, Bossi decided to reopen the Padanian Parliament on 14 November 2011.
On 4 December 2011, Roberto Calderoli was appointed as the new president of the Padanian Parliament at the opening of the assembly that saw the participation for the first time of twenty Umbrian militants led by Gianluca Cirignoni, the then Lega Nord deputy leader at the Legislative Assembly of Umbria. By 2012, it had an office in Port Villa called La Favorita in Monticello di Fara di Sarego, in the province of Vicenza.
