Juan Schiaretti

He was Governor of Córdoba in 2007–2011 and 2015–2023 and finished fourth in the 2023 presidential election. He is named as a possible presidential contender for the Provincias Unidas bloc in the 2027 Argentine presidential election.

Career

Schiaretti trained as an accountant. He served as federal interventor of Santiago del Estero province in 1993–1995, was a national deputy in 1995–1997 and again in 2001–2002, and was Vice Governor of Córdoba in 2003–2007. He won the Córdoba governorship in 2007 and held it until 2011, then returned in 2015 and served until 2023. In 2023 he headed the Hacemos por Nuestro País alliance in the presidential election and placed fourth in the first round.

Positions

Wikipedia describes him as a centrist who started out in Peronism and became distanced from the national Peronist leadership after the 2008 agricultural conflict, when he ran a rival list to Kirchner's Front for Victory in the 2009 legislative elections. The Argentine outlet El Economista reports that he is regarded as the leading figure, a primus inter pares, of the Provincias Unidas bloc, and that Córdoba governor Martín Llaryora is another possible choice of candidate for 2027.
