Pro Lombardy Independence (Pro Lombardia Indipendenza) is an independentist party active in Lombardy, Italy.[1]
The party, which was launched in 2011,[2] is led by Giovanni Roversi and has a municipal councillor in Roncadelle, province of Brescia, Alessandro Ceresoli, reelected in May 2015.[3] [4]
The first objective of the party is the independence of the present-day Lombardy region, but it hopes for a unification of the 'Historical Lombardy', which in its eyes includes Emilia (part of the Emilia-Romagna region), the provinces of Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and the commune of Tortona (all three part of the Piedmont Region), and the 'Swiss Lombardia' (the Canton of Ticino and parts of the Canton of Graubünden).[5]
According to its president, '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”.'[6]
The party is a member of the European Free Alliance[7]
