Giorgio La Malfa (born 13 October 1939 in Milan)[1] is an Italian politician.

Biography[]

La Malfa was born in Milan, the son of Ugo La Malfa, a long-time Italian political leader and minister.[2]

La Malfa served as secretary of the Italian Republican Party from 1987 to 1993, when he stood down and was indicted to face trial over a corruption scandal.[3][4] He returned to politics in 1994,[5] and has since 2001 been president of the party.[6] From 2001 to 2005 he was President of the Finances Commission of the Italian Chamber of Deputies.[7] He was Italian minister for European Union Affairs from April 2005[8] until the elections of April 2006, when the centre-right coalition lost its majority; La Malfa was nonetheless elected to Parliament.[9] La Malfa was re-elected to the Chamber in the 2008 Italian general election with The People of Freedom, but on 24 September 2009 he announced his detachment from the Berlusconi IV Cabinet through a letter published by Corriere della Sera.[10]

On 8 June 2011 he was expelled from PRI by the party's college of arbitrators, for having voted against the Berlusconi Cabinet on 14 December 2010.
