Roberto Maroni ((:roˈbɛrto maˈroːni); born 15 March 1955) is an Italian politician from Varese, current President of Lombardy since 2013. He is a leader of the Northern League (Italian: ''Lega Nord''), a party seeking autonomy or independence for Northern Italy or Padania. From 1992-2013 he was a Member of the Chamber of Duputies of the Italian Republic, always elected in Lombard constituencies. He was Interior Minister of the Italian Republic from 1994-95, and from 2008-11. ==Career== In 1979, Maroni received a law degree with a dissertation in Civil Law, from the University of Milan. He became a lawyer after spending two years working as a Legal Affairs Manager for various companies.〔()〕 In 1990, he was elected Province Secretary of the Northern League in Varese. He also became a town councilor in Varese that year. Two years later, he was elected Chairman of the Northern League Parliamentary Group. He also entered the party's Federal Council and campaigned heavily for the Northern League prior to Berlusconi's first Cabinet. He also served as Minister of the Interior during the first Silvio Berlusconi cabinet, from 1994 to 1995. He also served as Minister of Labour and Welfare from 2001 to May 2006 in Berlusconi's second and third cabinets.〔 In April 2006, after Berlusconi narrowly lost his re-election bid to Romano Prodi, Maroni alleged problems with the election comparable to those in Florida during the 2000 Presidential election. "The level pegging is very similar to what happened in Florida. With one vote more or one vote less, you lose or you win," he said. After the 2008 electoral victory of the centre-right coalition in Italy, Maroni assumed the office of Minister of the Interior in the cabinet led by Silvio Berlusconi. Following the forced retirement of Umberto Bossi due to his alleged involvement in a scandal, Maroni was elected Political Secretary of the Northern League at its Congress in Assago (on 30 June and 1 July 2012). He currently leads a fierce opposition to Mario Monti's government with his party, the Northern League. After the election of February 24, 2013, he became the ninth President of Lombardy. 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「Roberto Maroni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
