Giorgio Clelio Stracquadanio (22 March 1959 – 31 January 2014) was an Italian politician and journalist. ==Biography== Born in Milan, Stracquadanio began his political career in the 1980s as an activist for the Radical Party in Milan with the municipal councillor Tiziana Maiolo.〔(Archivio Corriere.it )〕〔(Archivio Corriere.it )〕 In 1996 he ran unsuccessfully as an MP for Silvio Berlusconi's Polo delle Libertà. In 2006 he was elected to the Italian Senate with Forza Italia.〔(Scheda ) su Senato.it〕 While still taking part in Forza Italia's activities, he joined the parliamentary group "Democrazia Cristiana per le Autonomie" to allow them to reach the minimum required quorum for group constitution. As a legislator he rejected a proposal for the diminishing of members of parliament's salaries and benefits.〔RaiNews24 - (I senatori non so riducono lo stipendio ) - 8 novembre 2007.〕 In 2006 he was elected to be a member of the General Council of the Transnational Radical Party.〔(Mauro Suttora: Il maestro Pannella e la scuola radicale: come impossessarsi di una poltrona per sempre! )〕 In the 2008 general elections, he was not elected but received the seat of Cristiana Muscardini who opted instead to serve in the European Parliament. He then sat with the People of Freedom in the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Stracquadanio also worked as a journalist with the right-wing newspaper ''Libero'', for which he edited some political pamphlets. In 2009-2010, Stracquadanio was criticized for many controversial statements, including: * the delegitimisation of dissent in Berlusconi's party, the opposition to the explicit choice of MPs by electors, the support to ''ad personam'' laws favouring Silvio Berlusconi〔(Stracquadanio, il fedelissimo del premier che ha lanciato il Sì-B-Day ), Il Fatto Quotidiano, 20 novembre 2009〕 * insults towards a left-wing journalist during a press conference〔(Stampa, giustizia e cassintegrati, la calda estate di Stracquadanio ), La Repubblica, 12 settembre 2010〕〔(Bracconi ) su Repubblica.it〕 * request to libel Gianfranco Fini to force his dismissal, as with Dino Boffo〔〔(Avvenire contro Stracquadanio "Fini come Boffo? Si vergogni" ), La Repubblica, 1° agosto 2010〕 * downplaying of 2009 L'Aquila earthquake〔 * legitimizing prostitution to gain access to public posts, and stating that if a female MP were discovered to have been selected in return for sexual favours, there would be no reason for her to resign, or even to feel embarrassed; he stated his position after Angela Napoli (MP of the same party) had remarked that she could not exclude the possibility that some women MPs and senators had been selected in this manner.〔(Stracquadanio: "Legittimo prostituirsi se si vuole fare carriera" ), La Repubblica, 13 settembre 2010.〕 In July of 2012 he left Berlusconi's party and joined the political project built by Mario Monti.〔 Stracquadanio died of lung cancer on January 31, 2014 at the age of 54. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giorgio Stracquadanio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
