Carlos Eduardo Subirana Gianella (born 18 August 1986) is a Bolivian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz, representing circumscription 50 from 2010 to 2015.

Subirana was born into the wealthy, established Subirana family of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. He is a son of Carlos Subirana Suárez, a prominent bank executive and politician. He attended the elite bilingual Eagles' School before graduating as a lawyer from the Private University of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. While still in law school in 2009, Subirana was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, representing an urban constituency in his home department.

Taking office at age 23, Subirana is one of the youngest persons ever elected to parliamentШаблон:Snda development brought about by the reduction of constitutional age limits in place until the 2009 election. Although elected as a member of the opposition, Subirana defected to the governing party in 2014, following the course of his father and other Santa Cruz elites, who saw closer ties to the government as more economically favorable than continued animosity.

After leaving office, Subirana joined his father's law firm, Subirana & Associates, where he previously worked as a paralegal. He served as general manager of the family-owned newspaper La Estrella del Oriente from 2015 to 2017 and sits on the publication's editorial board.

Chamber of Deputies

Election

Шаблон:Further Before running for office, Subirana led a non-partisan youth political advocacy group based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Following the breakup of the organization, he took the unusual step of joining the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR), a front in such steep political decline that Subirana himself would later describe it as a "dead party". He led a cohort of youth activists that sought to reorient the MNR back to its ideological roots,Шаблон:Sfn away from the centrist neoliberalism promoted by past leadership.Шаблон:Sfn Subirana served on the board of the MNR's department branch office in Santa Cruz;Шаблон:Sfn as a member of the party's youth wing, he composed part of the MNR campaign team for the 2006 Constituent Assembly election.Шаблон:Sfn

The MNR maintained a protracted downward trajectory into the 2009 election season. Eminently aware of its diminished electoral presence, the party's presidential candidate, Germán Antelo, withdrew to back National Convergence (CN), the big tent alliance of Manfred Reyes Villa.Шаблон:Sfn For his support, CN granted Antelo broad discretion over its slate of candidates in Santa Cruz.Шаблон:Sfn Subirana, still in law school then,Шаблон:Sfn was among the few MNR members Antelo selected as part of his pick of postulants.Шаблон:Sfn He ran in and won single-member circumscription 50, an urban district encompassing western portions of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.Шаблон:Sfn After his father and great-grandfather, he was the third in the Subirana family to hold a seat in parliament.Шаблон:Sfn

Tenure

Subirana was sworn in on 19 January 2010;Шаблон:Sfn at 23, he was the youngest votingШаблон:Efn-lg member of the chamber and is one of the youngest persons ever elected to parliament.Шаблон:Sfnm A significant aspect of the 2010–2015 legislature was its youthful roster of members;Шаблон:Sfn the youngest lawmakers in the freshman class were the first to be elected under the auspices of the 2009 Constitution, which lowered the age threshold to hold office from 25 to 18 years.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Quote box

A self-styled "proactive opponent",Шаблон:Sfn Subirana collaborated more frequently with the ruling Movement for Socialism (MAS) compared to other opposition lawmakers.Шаблон:Sfn On occasion, this position earned him flack from more adversarial members of his caucus.Шаблон:Sfn

In legislation, Subirana hitched his platform to public safety reform,Шаблон:Sfn which he pursued while in office. He penned modifications to articles 133 of the criminal procedure code and 177 of the penal code, whichШаблон:Sndwith some amendments and under a different nameШаблон:Sndwere enacted into law.Шаблон:Sfnm In 2013, he authored a bill that declared 23 September as the National Day Against Human Trafficking, which also passed into law.Шаблон:Sfn

In an abrupt about-face, Subirana flipped his support to the MAS in the 2014 election.Шаблон:Sfn The reversal came as his father had been nominated to contest a seat in parliament on behalf of the ruling party.Шаблон:Sfn The apparent shift in disposition was not entirely without precedent: the Subirana family had long been open about its alignment toward the political left.Шаблон:Efn-lg Yet still, both Subiranas had until then been open critics of government policyШаблон:Sndthe elder through his newspaper and the younger as an opposition lawmaker.Шаблон:Efn-lg In any case, the family's political realignment left Subirana on the electoral margins, and he was not nominated for a second term.Шаблон:Sfn
