Claudia Rucci announced today her resignation from the position of General Director of the Human Rights Observatory of the Senate of the Nation for personal reasons. Rucci, a former national deputy, was appointed to her position by Vice President Victoria Villarruel. The resignation comes after Rucci's participation in activities related to the "complete history" of the 1970s in the Senate.
In her statements, Rucci mentioned: "Today I submitted my resignation, for personal reasons, from the position of General Director of the Human Rights Observatory of the Senate of the Nation." When announcing her resignation, the Peronist leader also shared a video on her social media account, showing images of her work in the upper chamber.
With Rucci's departure, Villarruel loses a close collaborator at a time of internal tensions with President Javier Milei.
