José Alperovich

José Alperovich

José Jorge Alperovich (born 1955) is an Argentine politician, currently the governor of Tucumán Province.

Alperovich was a member of the Radical Civic Union until he was approached by the then governor of Tucumán, Julio Miranda, to be provincial economy minister, joining the Justicialist Party in 2001. He became a national senator in 2001 and won as governor in 2003 and 2007.

Some commentators alleged that he 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 [http://home.netcom.com/~jrhowell/rel/news.htm] . Nevertheless, Supreme Court's amendment of Tucuman's Constitution stated Alperovich was allowed to take the oath using the Hebrew Bible or Torah, so that he couldn't be a victim of anti-semitism. Thus he was allowed to take the oath and be sworn in as governor.

Alperovich is married to Beatriz Rockeis de Alperovich, a national deputy.

Critics of his government

Alperovich is well known because of his authoritarian way of government and is also very criticized as a result of his rude manners. But nevertheless, there was an important development of the province during his government period, mainly in the health and education fields, droping down the infant mortality index to unknown precedents.
