Profession

Roberto Lavagna (born 24 March 1942) is an Argentine economist and politician who was Minister of Economy and Production from April 27, 2002 until November 28, 2005.

Despite the fact that he only garnered 6% of the votes in 2019 presidential election and that he lost allies due to his ties with the government, he seeks to consolidate his alliance with the Socialist Party to support the Federal Consensus in the legislative elections of 2021 and increase its presence in Congress.[3]
