Yolanda Tortolero Martínez (died 18 May 2021) was a Venezuelan physician and politician, alternate deputy of the National Assembly for the Carabobo state and the A New Era party.
Career
[edit]Tortolero was a physician by profession and worked at the Bejuma Hospital for several years, a town in the Carabobo state where she was from.[1][2] She was elected as alternate deputy for the National Assembly for Carabobo for the period 2016–2021 in the 2015 parliamentary elections, representing the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) and the A New Era (UNT in Spanish) party.[3] In 2020 she was one of the 100 deputies to vote in person in favor of reelecting Juan Guaidó as president of the Assembly in the National Assembly Delegated Committee election.[4]
In 2021 she was hospitalized in San Felipe, Yaracuy state; her party, colleagues and inhabitants of Bejuma asked for financial assistance for her medical attention.[1][5] Although her death had originally been reported by 14 May, the regional executive board of UNT in Carabobo informed that by that date the parliamentarian was still alive.[1] After fighting against COVID-19 for about three weeks, Tortolero died on 18 May from complications derived from the disease.[1][5][6]
