After a long and intense campaign under the slogan #TransEnLasBancas, Paula Eva Arraigada signed as a candidate for Buenos Aires legislator for the Frente de Todos.
"I just signed in the 12th place, I think it is a good place. We have been showing that we are capable of fighting and having victories. We are going to prove that we are loyal to the people," Paula Arraigada told
Clarín
from the door of the headquarters of the Justicialista Party.
Arraigada defines herself as a trans, feminist activist and is the founder of the group "La Nelly Omar".
In addition, she is an advisor in the National Congress.
"Closing lists is always an exciting experience. My years of membership were very strong. I have always experienced the candidacies closely, and that is why today I am exultant," added Arraigada.
The political will is there.
The proof of this is the presence of so many fellow legislators, deputies, officials of the City and the Nation, who came to support our campaign.
Thanks to TOD☀️S!
Now is our time.

Rooted claims to be the first Trans pre-candidate for the Buenos Aires Legislature in history
.
In the City, the Frente de Todos puts six of its 17 seats into play.
"We are not going to be the first but to be the best. I hope to be elected," said Paula, a resident of Parque Chacabuco, excited.
A few weeks ago she was one of the proud spokespersons for the Trans Labor Quota Act, which the Senate approved on June 24 by 55 affirmative votes, 1 negative and 6 abstentions.
This regulation establishes a transvestite labor quota of 1% in the National State, incentives for the hiring of transvestite and trans people in the private sector, and financial support for transvestite productive projects.
Paula Eva Arraigada, a Trans activist, signed as a candidate for Buenos Aires legislator for the Frente de Todos.
The transvestite collective has a life expectancy of between 35 and 40 years as a result of the violation of their rights, such as structural exclusion from the formal labor market: 9 out of 10 transvestite and trans people do not have a registered job, which it conditions the majority to exercise prostitution, institutional violence and the deterioration of their integral health.
The rest of the list of Buenos Aires Peronism
The first place on the ballot of the Frente de Todos for the Buenos Aires Legislature is held by Alejandro Amor, current Ombudsman of the City, who has already resigned from that position.
"Today I have submitted my resignation from the position of Ombudsman to head the list of Buenos Aires Legislators for the Frente de Todos. With the same convictions, the same values and the desire to work for the workers, and the full validity of the Human Rights, "Amor published on the networks.
