Political position

I agree with User:Barlafus's compromise version. The party would be better described as historically "big tent" (until 2000), "centre-right" (2000–2013) and "right-wing" (since 2013). Some sources describe it as "far-right", but they are certainly inaccurate: that position should be mentioned in the article's text and possibly in a note to the infobox, but not in the infobox itself. -- Checco (talk) 06:15, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why there should be a "compromise" version. Compromise between what? We don't have to compromise between ourselves editors here, we need to report what WP:RS state. If enough sources describe Lega Nord also as far-right, then we add it to the list of descriptors. Simple as that, we do not need to "compromise" or give our personal evaluation.

Giving away polenta

I added this, but it was quietly reverted:

"In 2011, a LN politician gave away hundreds of one-kilo bags of cornmeal for polenta, which is a food that originated in the Americas and he associated with traditional Italian food, while making a statement against couscous, which is made from the same durum semolina wheat as Italian pasta and he associated with African immigrants.^[1]^[2] Lega Nord endorsed bans on restaurants that do not serve traditional Italian food.^[3]"

I think the marketing is fun and earned every bit of attention he got from the media.

Also, while that was (I assume) a one-time event, the fact that LN wants to require restaurants to serve traditional Italian food is not just a one-time event. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:41, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Far-right

The sources refer to League for Salvini Premier, not this party. 93.38.68.62 (talk) 12:56, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Moreover, neither this party nor Lega are far-right. --Checco (talk) 12:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
