Carlos Subirana Gianella

Carlos Eduardo Subirana Gianella (born 18 August 1986) is a Bolivian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz, representing circumscription 50 from 2010 to 2015.

He received his secondary baccalaureate [es] from the prestigious bilingual Eagles' School at age 18,[4] and studied law at the Private University of Santa Cruz de la Sierra – an elite institute that catered in large part to the city's economic and political upper crust.

[7] From 2015 to 2017, Subirana served as general manager of the family-owned newspaper La Estrella del Oriente;[β] he currently holds a seat on the publication's editorial board.

[12] Before running for office, Subirana led a non-partisan youth political advocacy group based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Following the breakup of the organization, he took the unusual step of joining the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR), a front in such steep political decline that Subirana himself would later describe it as a "dead party".

He led a cohort of youth activists that sought to reorient the MNR back to its ideological roots,[3] away from the centrist neoliberalism promoted by past leadership.

Its presidential candidate, Germán Antelo, dropped out to back National Convergence (CN), the big tent alliance of Manfred Reyes Villa.

[14] He ran in and won single-member circumscription 50, an urban district encompassing western portions of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
