José Alperovich

He is married to Beatriz Rojkés de Alperovich, who served as National Senator and president of the Justicialist Party in his province.

His appointment to the ministerial position was part of an agreement that was designed to maintain a channel of communications between the Justicialist Party and the Alliance government of Fernando de la Rúa.

[4] Some commentators had speculated that Alperovich would not be able to become governor if elected because of the provincial law that required him to give an oath on the Christian Bible.

He has auto dealerships, sells truck and agricultural machinery, and is also active in hotel and commercial development and in construction and real estate.

[5] During his early years as governor, Alperovich formed strong political ties with President Nestor Kirchner, who provided funds for various projects in the province that included a comprehensive public-works program.

Alperovich announced on January 15, 2014, that he would not seek a fourth term as governor, but “did not dismiss the possibility that his wife, Senator Beatriz Rojkés, would run to succeed him in 2015.”[14] He was charged by the Public Prosecutor for the complaint of sexual abuse by his niece.
