Political career

After studying law , Sacconi was initially active in the 1970s and 1980s for the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI), as its representative he was first elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies in 1979 . After being re-elected three times as MPs (1983, 1987 and 1992), the PSI dissolved in the wake of the Tangentopoli corruption scandal , and Sacconi joined Berlusconi's newly founded Forza Italia .

From 1994 to 2001 he worked for the International Labor Organization (ILO) in Geneva. In May 2001 he was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies and until 2006 appointed to the second and third Berlusconi Cabinet as State Secretary in the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. After the murder of his colleague Marco Biagi by the Red Brigades in March 2002, Sacconi founded the Associazione Amici di Marco Biagi (English: Society of Friends of Marco Biagi ), of which he is chairman, and vehemently advocated the passage of a law drafted by Biagi to relax the protection against dismissal.

In the 2006 general election , Sacconi was elected to the Senate for Forza Italia , where he was a member of the Labor and Social Welfare Committee until 2008. On May 8, 2008, after the clear election victory of Berlusconi's right-wing liberal alliance Popolo della Libertà, he was appointed head of the newly merged Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs.

Sacconi is married and has one son.
