Early life and career
[edit | edit source]Torello was born on 12 February 1959 in Buenos Aires.[2] He is a grand-nephew of Pablo Miguel Torello (1864–1943), who was Minister of Public Works during the presidency of Hipólito Yrigoyen.[3] His brother, José Torello, is also a Republican Proposal politician and currently serves as a Senator for Buenos Aires.[4] Torello is married to María Patricia Medina.[2]
From 2008 to 2009 he led the Bragado chapter of the Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA), and served in the SRA directive board from 2003 to 2013.[5]
Political career
[edit | edit source]Torello was a member of the City Council of Bragado from 2013 to 2015.[2] He ran for a seat in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in the 2015 general election; he was the 12th candidate in the Republican Proposal list in Buenos Aires Province. The list received 33.75% of the votes, and Torello was elected.[6] He was re-elected in 2019, this time as the 13th candidate in the Juntos por el Cambio list.[7]
As a national deputy, Torello formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Agriculture and Livestock, Consumer Rights, Communications, Economy, Industry, and Budgets.[8] He was a vocal opponent of the legalization of abortion in Argentina, voting against the two Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bills that were debated by the Argentine Congress in 2018 and 2020.[9] In 2020, before the second bill passed the Argentine Congress, Torello threatened to denounce the bill for unconstitutionality should it become law.[10]
In 2019, he caused controversy when, on his official Twitter account, he replied affirmatively to a tweet stating that "feminist women are unfuckable".[11][12]
