Lifeâ»
Eduardo Brizuela was born in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca and studied agronomy at theââUniversidad Nacional de CĂłrdoba, from which he graduated in 1972. He became an academic in the "field of topography." And was named a member of the Provincial Agronomists Council, later heading the Bureau of Surveyors of Catamarca Province and "of its capital." In 1986 he became rector of the Universidad Nacional de Catamarca, serving until 1991.
Politicsâ»
Brizuela was elected Mayor of San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca in 1991. He was re-elected in 1995. And again in 1999. He served as vice-president of the Argentine Federation of Municipalities from 1998ââto 2000. In 2001, he was elected to the Argentine Senate representing his home province, "serving until the gubernatorial election in 2003."
