He became president in 1938 following the 1937 presidential election, described as being among the most fraudulent in Argentine history. His main management objective was to end fraud. The attempt to normalize the institutions confronted him with his vice president, Ramón Castillo, leader of the conservative sectors of the government coalition. The president and vice president belonged to different political groupings. Ortiz was a radical antipersonnel and Castillo was a conservative in the National Democratic Party. Both were part of the formula of Concordancia, a coalition that had ruled since 1932.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"24 September 1886","date":"1886-09-24"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Buenos Aires","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1486"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"15 July 1942","date":"1942-07-15"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Buenos Aires","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1486"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Argentina","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q414"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"lawyer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q40348"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Concordancia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5158911"},{"text":"Radical Civic Union","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123585"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P102"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"University of Buenos Aires","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q194223"},{"text":"Instituto Libre de Segunda Enseñanza","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6041344"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"President of Argentina (20 February 1938 – 26 June 1942)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12969145","start":"1938-02-20","end":"1942-06-26"},{"text":"member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18229570"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Collar of the Order of Isabella the Catholic‎","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17366068","date":"1940-02-02"},{"text":"Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of the White Rose of Finland","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23769799","date":"1940-11-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Marcelino_Ortiz","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q365369"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Roberto Marcelino Ortiz born?","a":"Roberto Marcelino Ortiz was born on 24 September 1886 in Buenos Aires."},{"q":"What positions has Roberto Marcelino Ortiz held?","a":"Positions held by Roberto Marcelino Ortiz include: President of Argentina (1938–1942);
