Juliana Di Tullio
, former national deputy and now director of Banco Provincia, will have to assume the Senate seat that
Jorge Taiana
will leave vacant
to take over as Defense Minister.
Di Tullio occupied the place of the
first alternate
in the list of national senators of the province of Buenos Aires of Unidad Ciudadana in 2017.
The bench went to
Cristina Kirchner
- who was elected senator by the minority because she was defeated by the Cambiemos list headed by
Esteban Bullrich
- and she held it until 2019, when she became vice president.
His place was then taken by Taiana and now, with his departure to Defense, it is Di Tullio's turn.
In the case of senators elected by the minority, as they are elected one by one,
the gender quota law does not apply
, and therefore they are replaced in the event of resignation by the one who follows on the list.
Di Tullio has extensive experience in Congress, and became head of the bloc of Deputies of the Frente Para la Victoria in the last stretch of the presidential term of Cristina Kirchner.
It is the second time that he will take over a seat to replace a resignation: in 2009 he won his seat when he replaced the singer Nacha Guevara, who was a candidate and did not want to take office.
She is a psychologist, graduated from the Pichón Riviere School of Social Psychology.
