Patricia Bullrich (Latin American Spanish: [paˈtɾisja ˈβulritʃ] ; born 11 June 1956) is an Argentine professor and politician who was appointed Minister of Security in 2023 under president Javier Milei, having previously held the office under president Mauricio Macri from 2015 to 2019. She was the chairwoman of Republican Proposal, until 2024.[2]

Born in Buenos Aires, Bullrich graduated from the University of Palermo, and as a young woman she was involved with the Peronist Youth. Following the election of Macri to the presidency in the 2015 Argentine general election, it was announced that Bullrich had been nominated the Minister of Security.

Bullrich represented the hardest and most right-wing sector of the Together for Change coalition and the Republican Proposal party during both the 2023 Argentine primary and general elections as presidential candidate. Following her defeat in the first round of the general election, she decided to personally support Javier Milei on the second round. Later on, she was chosen to serve as Minister of Security by Milei after being elected President.
