For many it was not such a familiar face.

Until he appeared at a press conference called in a hurry by the President of the Nation and stood next to the head of state.

Alberto Ángel Fernández announced on June 8, 2020 the intervention of Vicentin and the expropriation project of the iconic agro-industrial company and looked to his left:

"Thank you Anabel for your contributions."

Everyone's attention then went to Senator Anabel Fernández Sagasti, who had firmly defended the idea that the State should intervene in Vicentin, which from then on became one more Kirchnerist struggle, with the symbolic of a confrontation with sectors of the so-called "Field".

The Cristinista legislator was the author of Vicentin's intervention project, who considered the firm "a witness company in the grain market, which is going to give us the path to food sovereignty."

Beyond the fact that in the Frente de Todos campaign that issue had occupied others -such as the then Minister of Production Matías Kulfas-, it

was Fernández Sagasti who fought close to Cristina and Máximo Kirchner

with the need to advance in "a historic decision." , as the senator cataloged it.

The case then got complicated, the Justice of the province of Santa Fe and even the provincial government itself intervened, in the hands of an atypical Peronist like Omar Perotti, not so fond of the ways and style of Kirchnerism.

The co-star of that day was Anabel Fernández Sagasti, a national senator faithful to Cristina Kirchner, who has her as her right hand in the Upper House.

At only 37 years old, she is her sword for issues such as Justice, a key element in the political and life map of the vice president.

Originally from Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, she graduated from the Universidad Nacional De Cuyo as a lawyer in 2011 but also has the title of public auctioneer and is a commercial broker.

Politics came to him from the cradle, with a Peronist grandfather and father.

She began to be a military officer in high school, being president of the Student Center at the Teaching School of the National University of Cuyo. There he

starred in several shots of the school: one, when during the Menemism

the Federal Education Law was sanctioned and there was a protest from the schools dependent on the university. There, they took school for 31 days. Then, he returned to action when, in Ricardo López Murphy's brief tenure as Minister of the Economy, the precocious Fernando de la Rúa official tried to move forward with cutting education and the idea of ​​paying the university fees.

Another fact of impact in the life of Fernández Sagasti was Resolution 125 and the conflict with the Camp that altered the life of Kirchnerism.

There, the Mendoza woman met Lucas Ilardo, whom she married.

They, plus a group of militants,

founded La Cámpora in Mendoza

.

Over time, the couple separated but on the best terms: today Ilardo is the campaign manager of the newly nominated national senator.


Alberto Fernández and Anabel Fernandez Sagasti, on Monday 6/8/20, at the Casa Rosada, when they announced Vicentin's intervention and the expropriation project of the agro-industrial company.

After passing through Deputies,

Sagasti reached the national Senate

. He passed through the Council of the Magistracy of the Nation, representing the Front for Victory, and today he is part of the Bicameral of application of the Federal Criminal Procedure Code and

presides over the decisive Commission of Agreements, where the new judges are given permission.

. The judicial issues that haunt Cristina Kirchner she speaks with her right hand, who operates in the field. The case of the Attorney General, with the statement of the President's elect -Daniel Rafecas- sleeping in the Upper House, also occupied Sagasti.

The young woman, who is also the Vice President of the Block of the Front of All in the Senate

, tried in 2019 to access the governorship of her province, losing by 15 points of difference

with the radical Rodolfo Suárez.

The obsession of "Ana", as CFK calls her, is to fight again for the highest seat of the province.

For this reason, in this legislative year, it flies to Buenos Aires very early on Tuesdays and returns to Mendoza late on Thursday. 

"The airport is my third home," he

says, putting the Senate in second place and his home in Maipú, in Greater Mendoza, as the first.

There, he lives as

Pocho and Eva, his two dogs with a Peronist denomination of origin

.

There she dedicates herself to the stationary bicycle and her shoes, of which she declares herself devoted, a pleasure that she shares with the vice president.

On weekends she meets with her friends, where the memory of when she sold lingerie by catalog in the provincial Judicial Power appears.

Now, 1,439,463 Mendoza are able to vote in these elections, which represents 4.19 percent of the national register.

Anabel Fernández Sagasti, current president of the Mendoza Peronist party, will renew her national senator's seat

, accompanied by the mayor of Tunuyán, Martín Aveiro.

The numbers show that two seats will be for radicalism and one for Peronism.

If renewed, he hopes that the camper from La Pampa, María Luz Alonso, will obtain a seat and thus add muscle from the youth group K to the Senate.

It is that beyond her privileged relationship with Cristina, this

Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba fan

maintains a fluid relationship with

Máximo Carlos Kirchner

, the head of La Cámpora, and with whom she also works  


on parliamentary issues in the National Congress.
