Giancarlo Pagliarini (born April 23, 1942) is an Italian politician.
Born in Milan, he was later elected to the Italian Senate for Lega Nord in 1992 and re-elected in 1994, then elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1996 and in 2001. He was Minister of the Budget in Berlusconi I Cabinet in 1994, "President of Padania" in 1996 and floor leader of Lega Nord in the Chamber of Deputies from 1999 to 2001.
He is married to a lady of Armenian origin whose family survived the Armenian Genocide, they have a son and a daughter.
Before joining the League, Pagliarini worked as accountant and was close to the Radical Party, for its battle in favour of divorce. Anyway, he never joined that party, being only a voter, and so he made his first political experience in the League.
Pagliarini is a moderate, sometimes dissenting with the party's social-conservative agenda, a libertarian, especially on economic issues, and a prominent supporter of fiscal federalism and fiscal conservatism.
He was known as maverick politician and, prior to leaving Lega Nord, often criticized the line imposed by Umberto Bossi. Lately he dissented with the continuation of the alliance with the other House of Freedoms parties, favouring an autonomous path for the League, and flirted with the independentist wing of the party, led by Gilberto Oneto, a libertarian himself, and maintained relations with the Liberal Reformers.
In 19 January 2007 Pagliarini, who was not candidate for re-election in the 2006 general election, finally left Lega Nord[citation needed]. In June he took part to the libertarian network founded by Daniele Capezzone.
On 18 January 2008 he unexepectedly joined The Right of Francesco Storace[1] and then was candidated in Lombardy in the 2008 general election, despite declaring to be "leghista in the soul and the mind".[2] He wasn't elected.
He was candidated as mayor of Milan for local elections 2011,[3] but he wasn't able to enter the runoff election. Currently he's member of Act to Stop the Decline, a federalist and liberal party.
