Political Resilience: Silvia Sardone's Rise in Lega Despite Threats

15-05-2025


Silvia Sardone, a prominent figure within Italy's Lega party, has been promoted to the position of vice secretary, marking a significant milestone as the first woman to hold this role within the party. The decision, endorsed by the party's federal council, sees Sardone joining Roberto Vannacci in the leadership team, signaling a fresh direction for Lega under Matteo Salvini's stewardship. Sardone's political journey, transitioning from Forza Italia to Lega and her subsequent election to the European Parliament, underscores her rising influence within Italian politics.

However, Sardone's ascent has not been without its challenges. The eurodeputy has been the target of death threats and public insults, a situation that has necessitated her being under constant protection. Recent incidents, including derogatory graffiti in Milan and a controversial song by trapper Melons, highlight the polarized reactions her political stance elicits. Despite these adversities, Sardone remains undeterred, continuing her political activities with determination.

Sardone's political career is characterized by her strong positions on various issues, including her opposition to the construction of a mosque in Milan and her public stance against the Islamic veil. These views have made her a divisive figure, attracting both support and criticism. Her resilience in the face of threats and her commitment to her political ideals have become defining aspects of her public persona.

As Lega prepares to announce its new leadership team, the inclusion of Sardone and Vannacci represents a strategic move by Salvini to consolidate the party's base and appeal to a broader electorate. With her record of securing the highest number of preferences among Lega's female candidates in her re-election to the European Parliament, Sardone's promotion is a testament to her political acumen and the party's confidence in her abilities. The coming months will be crucial for Lega as it navigates the complexities of Italian and European politics with its renewed leadership.
