Delia Bisutti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delia Beatriz Bisutti (b. 1947-03-31) is an Argentine centre-left politician, currently a member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies representing Buenos Aires.
Bisutti was born in Buenos Aires and became a teacher after studying at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. From an early age she took an active role in trade unions, serving as a union delegate from 1970 to 1989. In 1977, during the Dirty War, she was detained by the military government and imprisoned in the concentration camp known as the 'Sheraton'. Her husband was also taken and disappeared, presumed dead.
In 1989 Bisutti became secretary general of the teacher's union, Unión de Trabajadores de la Educación (UTE), part of CTERA. She sat on CTERA's national committee. From 1995 she was a member of the executive of the Buenos Aires left-wing party, the Frente Grande, and in 1997 she was elected to the city legislature for the party as part of FrePaSo, where she presided over several committees including economic development.
Bisutti had been a critic of FrePaSo's alliance with the Radical Civic Union [1]. In 2001, she joined the new centre-left party, Support for an Egalitarian Republic (ARI) and sat on the party's city executive. In 2003 she led the ARI block in the Buenos Aires legislature. Later that year she resigned her seat to take a junior role in the city government, within the education department, serving until January 2005.
Bisutti was elected a deputy for ARI in the October 2005 elections.
