Myriam Bregman (born 25 February 1972) is an Argentine lawyer, activist, and politician. Raised in a Jewish family,[1] Bregman joined the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS) – a Trotskyist Argentine party of which she is among the most prominent members – while studying a degree in law at the University of Buenos Aires in the 90s.[2]
She was one of the lawyers who took the case of Jorge Julio López, an eyewitness of the 1970s military dictatorship who disappeared in 2006 after testifying against Miguel Osvaldo Etchecolatz, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and charged with genocide accusations for the crimes he committed during the dictatorship.
In 1997 she founded the Professionist Center for Human Rights (CeProDH), which defends and assesses laid off and unemployed workers and intervenes against repression and impunity, and the Justicia Ya! (Justice Now) Collective, who are appellants in cases of crimes against humanity during the dictatorship's regime of state terrorism.[3]
She first ran for a seat in Congress in 2009 and for Chief of government of the City of Buenos Aires in 2011 and 2015 by the Workers' Left Front (comprising, among others, the PTS).[2] In 2015 she became a national deputy for Buenos Aires Province, holding the seat by rotation for the Workers' Left Front (FIT) until 2016 and being widely supported by several sectors.[4] Since December 2017, she is a deputy in the legislature for the City of Buenos Aires, where she's president of the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission. She also ran as vice-presidential candidate for the Front in the 2015 Argentine general election, coming fourth. In 2021 she was again elected to the national Chamber of Deputies, this time for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.[5] In the 2023 Argentine general election, she ran for president as head of the Workers' Left Front alliance.
