The Crisis in the Rest of the Italy[]
At this point Italy was in chaos, with fears of losing other important areas of Italy. With these independence movements, the Italian Parliament ammended the constitution the 'Declaration of Apology to Independence', and has banned any party whose key policies are independence, and the inability to elect the leaders of these movements for independence for over 50 years in each administrative office and in every election. The parties allied or formerly allied with the Lega Nord, Forza Italia, Fratelli d'Italia - A.N. and Casapound Italia have condemned the referendum and the decision of Salvini to found the Federal Republic of the Padania, and they have distanced themselves from the decisions of the Lega Nord, as well as announcing the fall of their alliance with the Lega Nord.
The Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was accused of having given the opportunity to the Lega Nord to make a referendum for the independence of the Northern Italy, and they have resigned from the office of Prime Minister.
This chaos has led to an increase in consensus for nationalist parties and the extreme right by the Italian people such as Forza Nuova or Casapound.
On the 20th September the President Sergio Mattarella has appointed as new Prime Minister of the Republic Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy from 1994-1995, 2001-2006 and 2008-2011.
