Lawmaker María del Rosario Acevedo of Córdoba province has died at the age of 55, according to multiple Argentine media outlets. Cba24n was among the first to report the news on Monday, August 10, 2026.
Acevedo, also known by the nicknames "Charo" and "Charito," served as a provincial legislator in Córdoba's unicameral assembly. The official website of the Córdoba Legislature confirmed her passing, as did the outlets Clarín and La Voz del Interior.
The cause of death has not been publicly disclosed in the reports available. Local coverage has focused on the sense of loss among her colleagues and the broader political community in the province.
Acevedo was a member of the Peronist party (PJ), according to a report from the political newsletter Alfil. Her death has prompted expressions of grief within that party, which is currently navigating internal negotiations over candidate formulas and new political alignments.
The news arrives as Córdoba's political scene is active with discussions about upcoming electoral tickets and party realignments. Acevedo's passing removes a familiar figure from those conversations, and her absence is likely to be felt in the legislature's upcoming sessions.
What to watch next: Whether the Córdoba Legislature will hold a formal tribute or announce a period of mourning in her honor, and how her seat will be filled under provincial rules.
