Early life

Cynthia Hotton was born on 17 January 1969 in Buenos Aires to Arturo Hotton Risler, whose parents had emigrated to Argentina from Australia at the beginning of the 20th century.[2]

Political career

Hotton began her political career with Ricardo López Murphy's party, Recreate for Growth, which merged with Republican Proposal. In March 2009, she launched the Valores para mi país party, formally breaking from the Republican Proposal in August of that same year.[1] Hotton promoted the conservative party as being the emphatic opposition to the legalization of abortion.[3] In May 2010, she was one of the primary opponents to same-sex marriage in Argentina in the Chamber of Deputies, leading demonstrations against the passing of same-sex marriage in July.[4]

During the devising of the 2011 budget for the Government of Argentina, Hotton denounced an alleged attempt at bribery through text messages. Days later, Argentine Police found that the text messages offering the bribes had in fact come from Hotton's phone.[5]
