Ambassador

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary posted to Spain at the Argentine Republic embassy is His Excellency (H.E.) Mr. Federico Ramón Puerta

Federico Ramón Puerta is an Argentine Peronist politician who has served as a governor, senator and national deputy and effectively acted as President of Argentina during 2001.

Puerta stood to be Governor of Misiones in 2003, but lost to his successor, Carlos Rovira. He retired from the Senate in 2005. He promoted for the governor of Misiones again in 2007, and was defeated.

In 1999 he was elected again to the Chamber of Deputies and in 2001 he was elected to the Senate. In November he was elected provisory President of the Argentine Senate, constitutionally third in line to the nation's presidency.

He was elected a national deputy for Misiones in 1987. In 1991 he was elected Governor of Misiones Province, re-elected in 1995 and served until 1999. He followed the neo-liberal economic model of President Carlos Menem, including privatising the provincial bank of which his own grandfather had been a founder.
