Luana Volnovich (born 26 September 1979) is an Argentine political scientist and Justicialist Party politician. She currently serves as a National Deputy elected in Buenos Aires Province, a position she previously held from 2015 to 2019.

Early life and education

[edit]

Luana Volnovich was born on 26 September 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Argentine parents exiled during the last civic–military dictatorship in Argentina (1976–1983).[1] The family returned to Argentina in 1989.[2] Volnovich studied and earned a licenciatura on political science at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).[2][3] She also has a post-graduate degree in Public Policy Administration and Control from the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO).[4]

During her studies at the UBA, she co-founded the Centro de Estudios Políticos (CEP; "Centre for Political Studies") alongside the economist Iván Heyn.[5]

Political career

[edit]

Volnovich was one of the founding members of La Cámpora, one of the youth wings of the Front for Victory.[2][4] In 2014, during the presidency of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Volnovich was appointed as National Director for the enlargement and strengthening of educational rights at the Ministry of Education.[6] Her administration saw the implementation of the Progresar and FinEs educational social assistance schemes.[7][8]

At the 2015 legislative elections, Volnovich was the 12th candidate in the Front for Victory list to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in Buenos Aires Province.[9] The list received 37.38% of the vote, and Volnovich was elected.[10] She was sworn in on 10 December 2015.[11] As deputy, Volnovich voted against the Mauricio Macri administration's pension reform in 2017, and introduced a bill to overturn it after it had passed the Chamber.[12] She also voted in favor of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bill, which would have legalized abortion in Argentina, but was struck down by the Senate on 8 August 2018.[13][14]

She was re-elected at the 2019 legislative election, this time as the second candidate in the Frente de Todos list, under Sergio Massa.[15][16] She was easily re-elected, but was never sworn in as she was appointed as executive director of PAMI on 12 December 2019 by incoming president Alberto Fernández.[17] Her seat in the Chamber of Deputies was replaced by Jimena López.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

Volnovich was in a relationship with the economist Iván Heyn until his death in 2011.[19][20] She has a son.[21]
