Liga Nathion Veneta

Liga Nathion Veneta (Venetian Nation League, LNV) was a short-lived Venetist political party active in Veneto, Italy.

LNV was founded in 1994 by Franco Rocchetta and Marilena Marin, after they had left Liga Veneta–Lega Nord, a party they were instrumental to establish.^[1] Marin had been national secretary of Liga Veneta from 1983 to 1994 (when she was defeated by Fabrizio Comencini during a party congress), while Rocchetta had been federal president of Lega Nord from 1991 to 1994, after having conceived Liga Veneta in 1978–1980.

The party had no electoral fortune: in the 1994 Treviso municipal election LNV obtained a mere 1.5% of the vote^[2] and it failed to present a list in the 1995 Venetian regional election. By that time Rocchetta and Marin had joined the Federalists and Liberal Democrats, a parliamentary party close to Forza Italia. Subsequently, Rocchetta, who had awkwardly joined National Alliance in 1995,^[3] retired from active politics in 1996, while Marin concluded her term as a Member of the European Parliament in 1999.
