Political career edit

In 2015, upon Rodríguez Larreta's election as Chief of Government (mayor) of Buenos Aires, Tagliaferri was appointed as Minister of Human Development and Habitat, succeeding Carolina Stanley, who was appointed Minister of Social Development of Argentina.[3][4] As minister, Tagliaferri oversaw the demolition of the Elefante Blanco, an abandoned hospital in the city's Villa Lugano barrio, and its replacement with a new building for the Ministry of Human Development.[5][6]
National Senator edit
Ahead of the 2019 legislative election, Tagliaferri was internally selected to be the second candidate in the Juntos por el Cambio list to the Argentine Senate, after Martín Lousteau.[7] The list received 53.99% of the votes and Tagliaferri was comfortably elected alongside Lousteau.[8] She was sworn in on 27 November 2019.[9]
Tagliaferri is one of the Senate's supporters of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Bill brought forward by President Alberto Fernández in 2020.[1][10][11]
