Government of Rosario - Mayors of Rosario

Mayors of Rosario

Since the return to democracy in 1983, the Mayors of Rosario were Horacio Usandizaga (1983–1987, reelected, resigned in 1989), Héctor Cavallero (elected to complete Usandizaga's term, 1989–1991, then reelected 1991–1995), Hermes Binner (1995–1999, reelected, 1999–2003), Miguel Lifschitz (2003–2007, then reelected 2007–2011), and the current one, Mónica Fein (elected in December 2011 until December 2015). Usandizaga was a member of the Radical Party (Unión Cívica Radical in Spanish); he had promised to resign if Carlos Menem was elected President in the national 1989 elections, and he kept his promise. Since then, Rosario's mayors have been members of the Socialist Party, though Cavallero turned to work for the Peronist Party after his last term.
