María Magdalena Odarda (born 8 December 1965) is an Argentine lawyer and politician who currently serves as president of the National Institute of Indigenous Affairs [es], under the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.

She was previously a member of the Argentine Senate from 2013 to 2019, and a provincial legislator in Río Negro from 2003 to 2013.

Biography

Magdalena Odarda was born in Córdoba on 8 December 1965.[1] After graduating from the National University of Córdoba, she moved to the town of Sierra Grande in Río Negro Province.[1] There she worked as a teacher and advised various unions.

In 1999, she became a councilor in Sierra Grande.[1] In 2000, she was a legislative advisor, and in 2003 she became a provincial legislator representing the Civic Coalition ARI (CC-ARI). She was president of the party in Río Negro Province until 2015. In 2011, she was a CC-ARI candidate for governor of Río Negro, but she obtained only 5.34% of the votes, losing to Carlos Soria from the Front for Victory.[2]

In 2013, after going through the simultaneous and compulsory open primaries and obtaining 18% of the votes, Odarda won a seat in the Argentine Senate representing the minority of Río Negro for the Progressive Front Alliance, with 26.28% of the votes.[3] The election was won by the Front for Victory, headed by Miguel Pichetto, who obtained 49.95%.[4]

In 2015, she was a candidate for governor for the Progressive Front for Equality and the Republic, competing against Miguel Ángel Pichetto and Alberto Weretilneck. She finished third, with 10% of the votes.[5]

Odarda, as president of the Río Negro CC-ARI, like Pablo Javkin [es], president of the party in Santa Fe, decided to remain independent from the party's national order and not conform to Cambiemos.[6] In November 2017, the authorities and parliamentarians of the Rio Negro Civic Coalition decided to leave the CC-ARI and form their own provincial party, called RIO.[7]

In December 2017, the weekly Parlamentario ranked Odarda 9th among senators on its list of "most industrious national legislators".[8]

In December 2019, President Alberto Fernández appointed Magdalena Odarda head of the National Institute of Indigenous Affairs [es].[9]
