The Friuli Autonomy League ({{langx|it|Lega Autonomia Friuli}}, LAF) was a political party active in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

History

It was founded by the social democratic Giancarlo Pedronetto, already Mayor of Muzzana del Turgnano from 1990 to 1993.

According to the words of the founder, the LAF was a "movement independent from the parties that wants to bring the valors and needs of the Friulian people to the Region and the State".[http://www.istitutladinfurlan.it/daf/lega%20autonomia%20friuli/88 DAF - Dizionari Autonomistic Furlan]

The party took part in the 1993 regional election in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, obtaining 4.7% of the votes and 2 seats (Pedronetto in the constituency of Udine ed Ennio Vazzoler in the constituency of Pordenone).

In 1994 Pedronetto was named Vice President of the Region and Assessor for work, cooperation, craftsmanship, local autonomies, community affairs and external relationships in the Travanut government.[https://annuario.regione.fvg.it/PDFWORD/Settima%20Legislatura%20-%20Seconda%20Giunta.pdf SETTIMA LEGISLATURA dal 6 giugno 1993 al 3 giugno 1998 II GIUNTA dal 12 gennaio 1994 al 17 luglio 1994]

In 1997 Pedronetto founded the Friuli Union,[http://www1.adnkronos.com/Archivio/AdnAgenzia/1997/08/21/Politica/FRIULI-NUOVO-SOGGETTO-POLITICO-CONTRO-PARTITI-PADANI-E-ROMANI_170400.php FRIULI: NUOVO SOGGETTO POLITICO CONTRO PARTITI PADANI E ROMANI] which was also joined by the regional councilors Mauro Larise and Ezio Sedran.[http://www.consiglio.regione.fvg.it/pagine/primopiano/allegati/VII_legislatura.pdf SETTIMA LEGISLATURA (1993-1998) CONSIGLIERI REGIONALI]

LAF nonetheless participated in the 1998 regional election but scored only 1.6% of the votes and gained no seats.
