The Young Padanians Movement (Italian: Movimento Giovani Padani, MGP), now called Youth League (Lega Giovani) is the youth wing of Lega Nord (LN), a National political party in Italy.[1] Its current Chairperson is Luca Toccalini.[2]

Originally launched with a different name in 1991, the MGP was established in all the regions of northern Italy, called "Padania" by the League members, in 1996.[3] , leader of the MGP in Lombardy since 1994, was the first federal coordinator.

The current leaders of Lega Nord and Lega Lombarda, Matteo Salvini and , were previously leaders of the MGP. The Movement, which staunchly supports Salvini, is seen by some in the party as a "faction" and, as such, some party bigwigs (including people close to Roberto Maroni and Roberto Calderoli) have proposed to disband it.[4][5]
