Bossi suffered 'no neurological damage'

(ANSA) - Milan, February 15 - League founder Umberto Bossi was better on Friday and has not suffered any neurological damage, Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana said after visiting him in hospital.
    Bossi had been rushed by helicopter to the ER in Varese Thursday. He was placed in intensive care and sedated after fainting and banging his head at home in nearby Gemonio.
    Fontana added that it seemed to have been a fit brought on possibly by medication he was taking.
    Bossi, 77, suffered a stroke in March 2004 which seriously impaired his speech.
    In December 1991 he was struck by a myocardial ischemia.
    He was Northern League leader from the 1989 until 2012.
    His Northern League has dropped the 'Northern' part of its name as it has successfully reached out beyond its former northern heartland under Bossi's successor, Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
    The League is now Italy's top party according to opinion polls.
