María Rosa Díaz de Vazquez (b. 28 February 1953, Firmat) is an Argentine ARI politician. She sits in the Argentine Senate representing Tierra del Fuego Province.
A teacher, Díaz moved to Tierra del Fuego in 1987. She began teaching in Ushuaia in 1990, working until her retirement in 2007. From December 2001 until December 2004, she served as part of the directorate of the provincial institute of social security (IPAUSS). She stood to be national deputy in 2005 and was elected as Senator in 2007 and assumed office in December of that year.
As part of building a broader coalition ahead of the 2007 elections, ARI's leader Elisa Carrió, reached out to centrist figures such as Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Estenssoro. This proved controversial in ARI ranks and several national legislators formed a separate block called the Autonomous ARI in Congress. In May 2008, the block, led by Eduardo Macaluse, announced that they were forming a new party, Solidarity and Equality (Solidaridad e Igualdad Sí).[1] Díaz also appeared at the launch of Sí, although she did not officially join.[2] She did not join the Civic Coalition block either, however, sitting in an ARI block.
