Giancarlo Giorgetti

Giancarlo Giorgetti is an Italian politician from Lombardy.

In the early 1990s he joined Lega Lombarda and Lega Nord. Elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in 1996, he was re-elected in 2001, 2006, 2008 and 2013. From 2001 to 2006, he was the chairman of the Budget Committee in the Chamber. Within the party, he was national secretary of Lega Lombarda from 2002 to 2012, and he has been deputy federal secretary of Lega Nord since 2016.

Giorgetti was described by The New York Times as a powerful aide to Umberto Bossi, founder and federal secretary of Lega Nord from 1991 to 2012, and by the The Economist as his "dauphin". In 2010, The Guardian described him as an "influential member of Berlusconi's Northern League party", where Berlusconi stood erroneously for Bossi. Under Matteo Salvini, Bossi's opponent and new federal secretary of Lega Nord since 2013, Giorgetti continued to be one of the most influential members of the party.
