He ran unsuccessfully for the 1988 presidential nomination in the Radical Civic Union primaries, but later became a Peronist and was elected to the Argentine Senate for the city of Buenos Aires in 1998.[2] President Carlos Menem appointed O'Donnell Ambassador to Bolivia and Paraguay, as well as Secretary of Culture. He was elected to the Buenos Aires City Legislature in 2002.[3]
He is currently engaged on the diffusion of Argentine historical knowledge, being part of the "neorevisionist" school which contests the official reading of history imposed in Argentina (democracy being restored only in 1983), and hosted the television show Historia confidencial (Confidential History) with fellow historians José Ignacio García Hamilton and Felipe Pigna.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
