Lega Nord Trentino (North League Trentino, LNT) is a regionalist political party in Italy which is the provincial section of Lega Nord in Trentino. The current national secretary is Maurizio Fugatti, deputy to the Italian Parliament. The party has also a senator, Sergio Divina, and eight regional deputies.

History

The party was founded in 1991 by some Trentino autonomists who wanted to join Lega Nord, as the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (PATT) had refused to do so. They included Sergio Divina (former member of the Italian Liberal Party[1]), Sergio Muraro, Erminio Boso (former member of Integral Autonomy and the PATT[2]) and Alessandro Savoi. Several members of LNT thus are former members of the PATT.

In the 2008 provincial election, Sergio Divina was candidate for President[3], supported by an autonomist coalition comprising also The People of Freedom (PdL), but was defeated by incumbent Lorenzo Dellai by a landslide.[4] LNT won 18.4% of the vote (combined result of party list, 14.1%, and Sergio Divina's personal list, 4.3%), surpassing PdL (12.3%) in the Province and getting eight deputies elected, six from party list and two from Divina's list.[5][6]

Popular support

Contrarily to other regional sections of Lega Nord, the party scores better in general elections than in provincial elections, in which it suffers more competition by other regionalist parties, such as the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party. In 2008 LNT had its best results in more than ten years.
