Umberto Bossi, founder of Italy’s Northern League and a key right-wing populist, has died at 84.
Umberto Bossi, the 84-year-old founder of Italy’s Northern League and a key architect of right-wing populism in Europe, has died in Varese, northern Italy.
A fiery populist leader known for his nationalist rhetoric and advocacy for northern autonomy, Bossi shaped Italian politics for decades, serving in government and influencing the rise of the modern Lega party.
Though he stepped down in 2012 amid scandal and was later convicted of embezzlement—though the conviction was overturned—he remained a symbolic figure.
His legacy endures through the party he founded, now known as Lega, which continues to play a major role in Italian politics.
