Life

Carrió studied law at the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste and has been a lawyer since 1978.

Her political career began in 1994 when she was elected to the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) as a member of her province. In the 1999 presidential election she supported the candidate Fernando de la Rúa at the request of her mentor Raúl Alfonsín .

After the termination of the coalition with the socialists and the Frente País Solidario (FrePaSo) in 2000, Carrió joined the Democratic Socialist Party and together with other politicians founded the Argentinos por una República de Iguales (ARI), initially as an informal group. After disagreements with socialist members of the group, these left the ARI and Carrió and other politicians resigned from their respective parties and founded the Afirmación para una República Igualitaria party (also abbreviated to ARI).

In the presidential election in 2003 Carrió ran and achieved 14% of the vote and thus fifth place. In the 2005 general election, Carrió was elected member of the city of Buenos Aires.

Carrió ran again as a candidate for the coalition Coalición Cívica in the 2007 presidential elections. In March 2007, she resigned as a MP to lead her election campaign. Together with Rubén Giustiniani , the leader of the Socialist Party , she achieved 23% of the vote and was second after Cristina Fernández de Kirchner . It achieved the majority in Buenos Aires and Rosario, but lost in the province of Buenos Aires.

After the election, she announced that she did not want to run for the presidency again, but instead saw herself as an "opposition leader" and supported other candidates in the next election in 2011 . Eventually she ran again as a presidential candidate, but ended up in seventh place with just 1.8% of the vote. In 2015, her party CC-ARI joined the right-wing liberal electoral alliance Cambiemos . Carrió ran in the primaries, but with 2.3% was far behind their internal opponent Mauricio Macri , who later won the presidential election.

From 2005 to 2007 and since 2009 Carrió has been a member of the Cámara de Diputados , the Argentine lower house.
