 Since 2018, membership recruitment by Lega in the Centre-South has been made under the name of "Lega per Salvini Premier" (LSP), practically supplanting Us with Salvini.Officials of the League claimed that the creation of LSP was also due to "judicial reasons".The LSP, whose statute had been published in the "Gazzetta Ufficiale" in December 2017 and had been described as a "parallel party", might eventually replace both the LN and NcS, which would be merged into one.
