Roberto Iglesias
Roberto Raul Iglesias (b. 1951) is an Argentine Radical Civic Union (UCR) politician, currently leader of the party and a deputy, formerly governor of Mendoza Province.
Iglesias was elected governor of Mendoza in 1999 on behalf of the alliance between the UCR and FrePaSo. He stepped down in 2003, being elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.
In December 2005, Iglesias succeeded Angel Rozas as President of the national committee of the Radical Civic Union, effectively leader of the party. In gaining the position, he took a hard-line approach against Peronist President Nestor Kirchner, largely opposing efforts to re-align the Radicals alongside the left-wing Kirchner [*].
