María Eugenia Bielsa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

María Eugenia Bielsa is an Argentine Justicialist Party politician, born in Rosario, Santa Fe Province. She is the vice-governor of Santa Fe, accompanying governor Jorge Obeid, since 2003. As such, she also presides the provincial Senate. She is the sister of politician Rafael Bielsa and of football coach Marcelo Bielsa.

Bielsa is an architect, and she taught at the Faculty of Architecture of the National University of Rosario. She is married to an architect and has a son who is studying the same career. [1]

Prior to the 2005 legislative elections, President Néstor Kirchner asked Bielsa to run for a highly-contested seat at the national Chamber of Deputies, but she refused, stating that she had a mandate to finish her term in the office for which she was elected. [2] Governor Obeid again asked Bielsa to run for mayor of Rosario in the 2007 general elections (when their term ends). She has not refused or accepted that request. [3] [4]
