About Marilena Marin
- Marilena Marin (born 24 July 1947) is an Italian Venetist politician. A native of Conegliano, she was a founding member of Liga Veneta in 1978–1980 and, after a party purge in 1984, she was elected national secretary of the party replacing Achille Tramarin.
- In 1987 she married with Franco Rocchetta, the party's practical leader and contributed to the birth of Lega Nord in 1991. In June 1994 she was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), but only one month later she was replaced by Fabrizio Comencini as national secretary during a party congress.
- In September she left the party and in December joined the Federalists and Liberal Democrats.
- Consistently to that, she left the group of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (of which Lega Nord was a member at the time) and joined Forza Europa, the group organized around Forza Italia, instead.
- She never joined Forza Italia anyway and retired from politics in 1999.
