Lega Sud Ausonia

The party was founded in 1996, as the sister-party of Lega Nord in Southern Italy, and is led by Gianfranco Vestuto.

Similarly to Lega Nord's goal of establishing an independent Padania, Lega Sud wants to establish an independent Ausonia, intended as Southern Italy.

In the 2001 general election Vestuto was a candidate of Lega Nord in Campania, but after that the two parties distanced themselves and Lega Sud chose to follow an anti-Northern line.

Under this agreement the group of NS in the Chamber of Deputies took the name of Noi Sud/Lega Sud Ausonia.

[1][2] In the 2015 Campania regional election Lega Sud Ausonia supported the centre-right candidate Stefano Caldoro.
