Rosana Andrea Bertone (born 9 May 1972, inSan Salvador,Entre Ríos) is anArgentine politician and the formerGovernor ofTierra del Fuego Province, serving from 2015 to 2019.[1] Since2019 she has been aNational Deputy.
Bertone qualified as a lawyer in 1995 from the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of theNational University of the Littoral. In 2001 she was elected to theArgentine Chamber of Deputies forTierra del Fuego and was re-elected in 2005 and 2009.[2] In 2010 she caused controversy when she opposedher party's plans to introducesame-sex marriage.[3]
Bertone ran forGovernor of Tierra del Fuego in the 2011 election but lost in therun-off vote to incumbent GovernorFabiana Ríos. Following the completion of her third term as a Deputy in 2013, Bertone was elected to theArgentine Senate forTierra del Fuego.[2] In 2015 she ran again for Governor, gaining 42.26% of the vote in the first round on June 21. On June 28 she defeated her opponent, Federico Sciurano, with over 50% of the vote to be elected Governor.[3]
In 2017, Bertone condemned theFalkland Islands general election as an 'illegitimate legislative electoral act' and stated that the only 'legitimate' legislators for the islands were thoseelected in 2015 to the Legislature ofTierra del Fuego province, under whose jurisdiction the Falklands fall according toArgentina's sovereignty claim to the Islands.[4]
Bertone sought re-election as governor in 2019, but lost in the first round to theFORJA candidate,Gustavo Melella.[5] Bertone left office in December 2019 at the end of her term.
Given the illegitimate electoral legislative act that is being developed in the Malvinas Islands, I want to emphasise that the only and legitimate legislators of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands were elected on 21 June 2015...
