Laura Vilches (born 24 March 1982) is an Argentinian teacher and politician. She is one of the national referents of the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS), a trotskyist party member of the Workers' Left Front (FIT) for which she was a provincial deputy in Córdoba Province from 2014 to 2015, and later from 2015 to 2019.
She previously worked as a teacher of literature.
Laura Vilches was born on 24 March 1982 in the Santa Fe Province, but has lived in Córdoba since 1987. She grew up and lived as a child in the Bella Vista neighborhood. She studied highschool in the Manuel Belgrano school, where she was an activist and was several times elected as delegate of her class.[1]
In 2005, as she was studying Modern Languages in the National University of Córdoba, she participated in the protests for the abolishment of the Higher Studies Law (Ley de Educación Superior), approved years before by Carlos Menem and which Néstor Kirchner harshened.[2] During that time, she would come in contact with the En Clave Roja/Tesis XI (Red Key/11th Thesis) student group made up by independent activists and PTS militants. She soon became a militant in 2006; in a few years she would start her job as a teacher and would specialise in Gender studies, becoming one of the main referents of the socialist feminist group Pan y Rosas.[3]
