Victoria Villarruel, born on April thirteenth, nineteen seventy-five, is a prominent Argentine lawyer, politician, essayist, and political activist. Since two thousand twenty-three, she has held the esteemed position of the thirty-eighth vice president of Argentina. Known for her conservative political stance, Villarruel has made significant contributions to the Argentine political landscape.
As the founder and chair of the Centro de Estudios Legales sobre el Terrorismo y sus Víctimas, or the Center for Legal Studies on Terrorism and its Victims, she has been at the forefront of discussions surrounding terrorism and its impact on society. Her dedication to this cause reflects her commitment to addressing complex legal and social issues in Argentina.
Prior to her vice presidency, Villarruel served as a member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies from two thousand twenty-one to two thousand twenty-three, representing the La Libertad Avanza political coalition. Throughout her career, she has faced accusations of denying Argentine state terrorism, a claim she firmly rejects, asserting that she does not support the National Reorganization Process.
