Adriana Salvatierra Arriaza (born 3 June 1989)[1] is a Bolivian-Chilean[2][3][4] politician. She was the President of the Senate of Bolivia from January 2019 to November 2019.[5] In 2015, she was elected to the Senate as a member of the Movement for Socialism from the Santa Cruz Department.
Salvatierra entered politics in 2005, when at age 16, she joined the Movement for Socialism led by Evo Morales. In 2014, the youth organization of her party elected her as a candidate for senator for her professionalism and grassroots work with social, civil and peasant organizations. She was elected to the Senate at the age of 26.[6] At 29 years old, Salvatierra was the youngest President of the Senate in the history of Bolivia.[7]
Salvatierra announced her resignation on November 10, 2019, and asked for asylum at the Mexican embassy in La Paz shortly after Morales had resigned the presidency amid a political crisis in the country.[8] Second Vice President of the Senate Jeanine Áñez then succeeded her. However, Salvatierra later contended that although her resignation was presented, it was never accepted by the senate, and therefore, she remained the President of the Senate.
The Senate accepted her resignation on November 14, 2019 and elected Mónica Eva Copa as new senate president.[9] On 13 December 2020, MAS announced that Salvatierra would be their party's candidate for Mayor of Santa Cruz de la Sierra with the hope that her previous position as Senator for Santa Cruz Department would help her win in the region with the strongest history of opposition to MAS.[10]
