About Gianpaolo Bottacin
- Gianpaolo Bottacin (born 17 October 1969 in Feltre) is a Venetist politician from Veneto, Italy. A member of Liga Veneta–Lega Nord since 1993, Bottacin was elected to the Regional Council of Veneto in 2005.
- Between 2008 and 2009 he was floor leader of the party.
- In 2009 he was elected President of the Province of Belluno and thus left his seat in the Council.
- In 2011, however, he suffered a vote of no confidence, was forced to resign and entered a period of political inactivity, also due to clashes with Flavio Tosi's leadership of Liga Veneta. In 2015, after Tosi was sidelined by the federal party, Bottacin made his long-awaited comeback to regional politics: he was elected to the Regional Council from Luca Zaia's personal list and Zaia, who had been re-elected President, appointed him minister of the Environment and Civil Protection.
