Jose Alperovich
Jose Jorge Alperovich (b. 1955) is an Argentine politician, currently the governor of Tucuman Province.
Alperovich was a member of the Radical Civic Union until he was approached by the then governor of Tucuman, Julio Miranda, to be provincial economy minister, joining the Justicialist Party in 2001. He became a national senator in 2001 and won as governor in 2003 and 2007.
Some commentators alleged that he would not be able to become governor if elected because of the provincial law that required him to give an oath on the Christian Bible [*]. Nevertheless, Supreme Court's amendment of Tucuman's Constitution stated Alperovich was allowed to take the oath using the Hebrew Bible or Torah, so that he couldn't be a victim of anti-semitism. Thus he was allowed to take the oath and be sworn in as governor.
