Description:
(Politician) Adriana Salvatierra Arriaza, a Bolivian political scientist and politician, served as president of the Senate in 2019. She was a senator for Santa Cruz from 2015 to 2020 and also acted as a substitute senator under Carlos Romero in 2015. Salvatierra made history as the youngest legislator and third woman to hold the Senate presidency. Her role was significant during the 2019 Bolivian political crisis, which eventually led to her resignation and a temporary power vacuum, filled by an opposition senator. Despite the controversy surrounding her resignation, Salvatierra faced a setback in her political career during the 2020 general elections.
