Alexis Raúl Guerrera (born 2 February 1971) is an Argentine teacher and politician. Since 2023, he has been a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies, a position he previously held from 2019 to 2020. He was Minister of Transport of Argentina from 2021 to 2022, in the cabinet of President Alberto Fernández; he was appointed following the death of his predecessor, Mario Meoni, in a car accident on 23 April 2021.

Guerrera also previously served as intendente (mayor) of his hometown of General Pinto from 2003 to 2019, and as president of Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura, a state-owned subsidiary of Ferrocarriles Argentinos. A former member of the Justicialist Party and the Front for Victory, Guerrera joined the Renewal Front in 2016.

Early life and career[edit]

Guerrera was born on 2 February 1971 in General Pinto, a partido in the North-west of Buenos Aires Province.[1] In his youth he joined the Justicialist Party's Peronist Youth, becoming the secretary-general of the General Pinto Peronist Youth aged 25.[2] He served as a member of the General Pinto city council and, in 2003, Guerrera became intendente (mayor) of General Pinto as a member of the Front for Victory coalition.[3][4]

In 2016, Guerrera joined the Renewal Front led by Sergio Massa. In 2019, as a member of the newly formed Frente de Todos (of which the Renewal Front is part), Guerrera was elected as a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies in the Fourth Electoral Section.[5]

In 2020, Guerrera was appointed president of Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura (also known as ADIF, a state-owned train infrastructure company), succeeding Ricardo Lissalde.[6] Following the death of Transport Minister Mario Meoni in a car accident on 23 April 2021, Guerrera was appointed as the new Minister of Transport of Argentina on 3 May 2021.

Minister of Transport[edit]

Guerrera has stated his opposition to the nationalization of the Paraná-Paraguay riverway.[7]

In November 2022, Guerrera announced he would step down from his position in the ministry due to health reasons. He was replaced by Diego Giuliano, also of the Renewal Front.[8]

Personal life[edit]

Guerrera is openly gay.[9] During his first term as member of the Provincial Chamber of Deputies, Guerrera presided the parliamentary commission on gender and diversity and sponsored one of the province's anti-discrimination bills.[10]
