Joga with whom he had fallen out, unsuccessfully appealed the changes before the Supreme Court of Argentina. In order to be re-elected in 1999, Insfrán called a Constitutional Convention at which the provincial constitution, which had imposed term limits, was altered to permit re-election for an indefinite number of terms. Insfrán replaced Joga as Governor of Formosa in 1995, with former governor Floro Bogado serving as his vice-governor. He was elected to the Provincial Legislature in 1983, and in 1987, he became Vice Governor of Formosa under Governor Vicente Joga, serving for two terms. Insfrán studies at the National University of the Northeast, where he earned a degree in veterinary science. In August 2012, journalist Jorge Lanata investigated the history of Insfrán's governorship and aired an exposé on his television program in which he depicted the province as a feudal fiefdom that is rife with corruption. He arranged to have Formosa's provincial constitution revised to allow him to be reelected indefinitely, and has thus been described as having "stuck a knife into the provincial Constitution".
Insfrán has been the target of accusations of corruption and self-enrichment, and has been severely criticized for his long tenure. Having been close to former President Carlos Menem, Insfrán later became close to President Néstor Kirchner, who defeated Menem in 2003 and was the leader of the Justicialist Party. Gildo Insfrán (born January 19, 1951) is an Argentine Justicialist Party (PJ) politician, who has been Governor of Formosa Province since 1995.
