Silvia Lospennato

As a national deputy, Lospennato was a vocal supporter of the legalization of abortion in Argentina. She voted in favour of the two Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bills that were debated by the Argentine Congress in 2018 and 2020. Her closing speech during the 2018 debate was highlighted by Brut Magazine as one of the decade's "best feminist speeches".

She ran for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies in the 2015 legislative election, as the first candidate in the Cambiemos list in Buenos Aires Province. She was initially supposed to be the second candidate in the list, until the resignation of Fernando Niembro from the position. The list came second with 33.75% of the vote, and Lospennato was elected. She was re-elected in 2019, this time as the fourth candidate in the Juntos por el Cambio list.

Lospennato began her career in the City Government of Buenos Aires during the administration of Mauricio Macri. Up until 2014, she was in charge of the Special Projects Unit of the Matanza Riachuelo Basin Authority (ACUMAR). Later, from January to December 2015, she was Undersecretary of Government of Buenos Aires.
