Daniel Kroneberger

Daniel Ricardo Kroneberger (born 12 June 1961) is an Argentine politician, currently serving as a National Senator for La Pampa since 2021.

[1][2] His position as a popular mayor allowed him to run in the Radical Civic Union primaries ahead of the 2005 legislative elections, where three of La Pampa's five seats in the Chamber of Deputies were at stake.

[4][5] On 5 July 2008, Kroneberger was one of the deputies who voted against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's proposed agricultural tax reform, citing his need to "defend the jobs" of his province's rural constituents.

[11] A few weeks after taking office as deputy, Kroneberger was hospitalised at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, where he was diagnosed with leukemia.

[12] After taking a leave form his legislative positions for the following months, he announced his treatment had been successful in October 2012 and he returned to Congress for the remainder of his term.

[12] Ahead of the 2015 legislative election, Kroneberger ran for a third term as deputy, once again competing in the open primaries within the FrePam alliance alongside Alicia Iris Ziegenfuhs as part of the "Juntos por La Pampa" list.

[15] During his 2015–2019 term, despite improvements in his health condition, Kroneberger was the ninth most-absent member of the Chamber, participating in only 14 out or 46 parliamentary sessions during the first half of 2018.

[16] In June 2018, ahead of the Chamber's vote on the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Bill – which sought to legalise abortion in Argentina, Kroneberger was still considered among the "undecided" deputies within the governing Cambiemos alliance.
