Jorge Srodek is a provincial deputy for the sixth electoral district of the province of Buenos Aires and specialises on rural policy. Unlike many Argentine politicians, he did not climb through the ranks of a political party but instead worked in the private sector for most of his life until, as he states on his public website, the 2001 collapse of the Argentine economy made him realise he should increase his political participation. He was elected provincial deputy on the ticket of the Unión PRO in the 2009 election, having previously run for provincial senator in 2007. This interview was conducted at his La Plata office on 9 March 2011.
