She also began a Doctorate in Economics at the same university but did not complete the degree due to bureaucratic issues, despite defending her thesis.[4]

Controversies

It is much broader than marriage equality. Let me exaggerate: if you prefer not to bathe and be full of lice and it is your choice, that's it, then don't complain if there is someone who doesn't like you having lice."[8]
Personal life
Mondino has assets according to her sworn statement of 5,027 million pesos, which makes her the richest official among the ministers appointed by Javier Milei to be part of his cabinet.[1]
