Carlos Ferraro

Carlos Alfonso "Chato" Ferraro (Spanish: [ˈkaɾlos alˈfonso ˈtʃato feˈraɾo]; May 21, 1953 – August 11, 2025) was an Argentine journalist, writer and politician.

Life and career

Ferraro was born in San Salvador de Jujuy on May 21, 1953. He graduated with a degree in Information Sciences from the National University of La Plata. He edited several books of short stories and poems, including Azuledades (1979), and Don Cucha (1983).[1]

He was press chief at the National University of Jujuy, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Pautas, and was a television host of political journalism. He also directed a television program to disseminate tourism in his province.[2]

In the October 1995 elections, he accompanied national senator Guillermo Eugenio Snopek as a candidate for vice-governor of the province of Jujuy, obtaining victory and taking office on December 10 of that year. In February of the following year, however, Snopek died in a car accident, forcing Ferraro to take over the provincial government on February 24.[3]

His government was convulsed by the union struggle that neoliberal policy faced. The division of the ruling party, the Justicialist Party, prevented him from holding a clearly unstable position; so he submitted his resignation on November 26, 1998. He was succeeded by provincial deputy Eduardo Fellner.[4]

After going through a serious illness, he died on August 11, 2025, at the age of 72.[5]
