José Alperovich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Jorge Alperovich (b. 1955) is an Argentine politician, currently the governor of Tucumán Province.
Alperovich was a member of the Radical Civic Union until he was approached by the then governor of Tucumán, Julio Miranda, to be provincial economy minister, joining the Justicialist Party in 2001. He became a national senator in 2001 and won as governor in 2003.
Alperovich has been the victim of anti-semitism, particularly in political campaigns against him and his policies [1]. Some commentators alleged that he would not be able to become governor if elected because of the provincial law that required him to give an oath on the Christian Bible [2].
In fact, thanks to the state Supreme Court's amendment of Tucuman's Constitution, Alperovich was allowed to take the oath using the Hebrew Bible, or Torah.
Alperovich is married to Beatriz Rockeis de Alperovich, a national deputy.
'Bank Noar' José Alperovich was the principal responsible for the bankruptcy of the Bank Noar. - He is actually denounced at Tucumán Justice, for the crimes of fraudulent bankruptcy, swindle, and illicit association. - The person in charge of the office of the public prosecutor, Carlos Albaca, is tryng to let the investigation sleep, because it´s been nine years of the first denounce, but Albaca never compelled Alperovich to declare about his responsability. More than 117.000.000 pesos disappeared. ==
