Everything about Horacio Usandizaga totally explained
Horacio Daniel Usandizaga (b.
15 June 1940 in
Rosario, ), also known informally as
El Vasco, is an
Argentine politician.
Usandizaga studied to become a lawyer and entered political activity as a member of the
Radical Civic Union (
UCR) in 1961. He was first a councillor and then Mayor of Rosario from
11 December 1983 to
10 December 1987. He was re-elected for four more years but resigned and left office on
22 May 1989. A man of hot temper, Usandizaga had publicly promised that he'd leave if
Carlos Menem was elected
president, as eventually happened. His term was completed by
Héctor Cavallero, of the
Socialist Party.
Usandizaga stood as candidate for Governor of Santa Fe in 1991, 1995 and 1999, but on all three occasions he failed to win, in part due to the
electoral system in place at the time (the now-repealed
Ley de Lemas). He was elected as the provincial representative (
Diputado) in the National Congress in 1993, and was a member of the
Argentine Senate from
29 November 1995 to
9 December 2001. He was re-elected, but at the end of 2002 he announced he'd retire from active politics upon the partial renewal of the Upper House on
9 December 2003.
In 2007 he was elected as president of
Rosario Central, the club that he supported since childhood. He obtained 63% of the votes.
