Silvia Sardone and Roberto Vannacci: the new deputy secretaries of the League

Silvia Sardone, 42, is a prominent figure within the League, a party she joined in 2019 after a long career in Forza Italia. With over a decade of experience in the administrative sphere in Lombardy, she has been able to gain the trust of voters, obtaining considerable consensus in the European elections.

In 2019, she was elected MEP with almost 45 thousand votes, but her success grew further in 2022, when she collected over 75 thousand preferences, placing herself immediately after Roberto Vannacci.

A law graduate, Sardone is currently a member of the “Patriots for Europe” group and stands out for her firm positions on the issue of immigration. On her website, she stresses the importance of protecting national borders and firmly opposes the idea of ​​Italy as a “refugee camp for Europe,” a vision that contrasts with that of many exponents of the left.

Roberto Vannacci: the general who caused controversy

Roberto Vannacci, 56, former general of the Folgore, has recently gained notoriety thanks to his book “Il mondo al contrario”, published in the summer of 2023. This work has sparked controversy for its contents considered homophobic and sexist, but has also helped consolidate his image in the Italian political landscape. His membership in the League, which took place on the occasion of the last Congress, was a fundamental step for his appointment as vice-secretary.

Vannacci represents a significant shift for the League, bringing with him a militant vision and forceful rhetoric that could appeal to a broader electorate. His experience in the military and his direct approach to social issues could prove instrumental in the party’s future strategies.

The League's Future Challenges

With the election of Sardone and Vannacci, the League is preparing to face new political challenges. Both deputy secretaries have demonstrated a strong capacity for mobilization and a clear vision for the future of the party. Their appointment marks a crucial moment for the League, which will have to navigate an ever-changing political context, characterized by internal tensions and external challenges.

The issue of immigration remains at the center of the Italian political debate, and the positions of Sardone and Vannacci could influence the party's strategies in view of the next elections. The League, under their leadership, could seek to consolidate its electorate, focusing on issues of security and national sovereignty, at a time when voter trust is essential for political success.
