Silvia Lospennato was a K official in the Province of Buenos Aires in 2007.

He was part of the organizational structure of a government that had a strong alignment with then-President Néstor Kirchner

According to her professional resume,  Silvia Lospennato was the Undersecretary of Investment Promotion and International Cooperation for the government of the province of Buenos Aires between December 2007 and November 2008. That period corresponds to the first twelve months of Daniel Scioli's term as governor, in an administration that politically aligned with Kirchnerism.

The leader, currently aligned with PRO and known for her active participation in the National Congress,  began her political career in that context. Her role was to promote the arrival of foreign capital and foster cooperation agreements with international organizations.

During that time, Lospennato was part of the organizational structure of a government that was strongly aligned with then-President Néstor Kirchner, and later with President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

A political past with ties to Kirchnerism

Although currently  Lospennato seeks to identify with the hardest wing of anti-Kirchnerism, her experience as an official in a Peronist administration  linked to the Front for Victory highlights a political past that contrasts with her current positioning.

  • The Undersecretariat she led operated under the orbit of a government with ideological guidelines very different from those she defends today.
  • Her time in the Buenos Aires government is not often mentioned in her public appearances.

In more recent interviews, Lospennato has distanced herself from Kirchnerism and has harshly criticized its policies. However,  her political journey includes that period with the party she currently criticizes strongly.

This background becomes relevant again in contexts of political debate, especially when discussing trajectories and ideological coherence within the opposition arc.
