Umberto Bossi, founder of the Italian Lega Nord party, passes away

Umberto Bossi, the historic founder of the Italian party Lega Nord, has died at the age of 84.

Bossi died at the Circolo hospital in Varese, where he had been admitted to intensive care on Wednesday and in critical condition, as reported by Italian media.

His history is intertwined with that of Silvio Berlusconi, first a rival and ally, then a great friend. He became minister twice, for Institutional Reforms and Devolution in 2001-2004, then for Reforms for Federalism in 2008-2011.

After 35 consecutive years, in October 2022, with the recount of votes, he had won a seat in the Chamber of Deputies where he rarely appeared due to his health condition after a serious illness since 2004. /CNA
