Romina Uhrig

Romina Maricel Uhrig (born 27 January 1988) is an Argentine former politician who served as a National Deputy of the Argentine Congress from 2019 to 2021. A member of the Justicialist Party, she was elected in Buenos Aires Province as part of the Unidad Ciudadana coalition.

In 2022, she became a contestant of the reality TV series Gran Hermano.

Early life and career Uhrig was born on 27 January 1988 in San Martín, Buenos Aires. She studied to be a physical education teacher, later entering politics in the municipality of Moreno, Buenos Aires. She would serve as undersecretary of institutional affairs, and later as secretary of productive development, during the administration of Mayor Walter Festa, whom she would eventually marry.

Festa and Uhrig had three daughters. They have since separated.

She is questioned because she attended to parties at the presidential residence in Olivos, during the COVID quarantines while the people was ordered not to go out.

The judiciary investigates her, after having been charged with her ex-husband for corruption and illicit enrichment.

Congresswoman In the 2017 legislative election, Uhrig ran for a seat in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies as the 15th candidate in the Unidad Ciudadana list in Buenos Aires Province. The list came second with 36.28% of the vote, not nearly enough for Uhrig to make it past the D'Hondt cut.

She formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Natural Resources and Human Environment Conservation, Population and Human Development, Women and Diversity, Elderly People, and Tax Rules and Prevision Analysis.

Her term as deputy expired on 10 December 2021. She did not run for re-election.

Gran Hermano and realities In October 2022, she was confirmed as one of the contestants in the 10th season of Gran Hermano, the Argentine version of the Big Brother reality format.
