Argentine lawyer Delia Ferreira Rubio elected chair of Transparency International
Delia Matilde Ferreira Rubio was elected chair of Transparency International, the global anti-corruption movement, at its Annual Membership Meeting in Berlin.
Rueben Lifuka was elected as vice-chair, along with seven new board members. All will serve a three-year term.
“Globalisation and technology have changed the nature of corruption. It is the role of Transparency International to face up to this changed world. Our work will be guided by our strong principles of transparency, integrity and accountability. We shall walk the talk and in this I will lead,” said Ferreira Rubio.
Ferreira Rubio is from Argentina and was the former president of Transparency International’s Argentine chapter, Poder Ciudadano. She has served as chief adviser for lawmakers at Argentina's Congress and has advised the Constitutional Committee of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
During her tenure at Poder Ciudadano, she was critical of then-Buenos Aires mayor (now President) Mauricio Macri for eroding transparency in municipal contracts and for ignoring freedom of information laws that allow access to all public contract records.
Born in Córdoba, Ferreira Rubio, 61, has a PhD in law from Madrid’s Complutense University and is the author of numerous publications on democratic culture and parliamentary ethics. She served on the international board of Transparency International from 2008 to 2014.
