Regional President Marco Minniti presented the 'Rosa Camuna' award to footballer and former regional councillor Alessandro Bastoni on March 13, citing his public acknowledgment of a past mistake as an exemplary act for sportsmanship rather than political betrayal. While officials praised him in front of thousands at Milan's Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with Minniti stating he "admitted the error," this decision has ignited sharp internal conflict within FdI-Lombardy forces who view it as capitulation to a rival party and an insult to their leadership, including former President Luigi Di Maio.
