Norberto Di Próspero, the long-standing Secretary General of the Asociación del Personal Legislativo (APL), has died suddenly at the age of 61. His passing has caused significant impact within the Argentine Congress and the broader labor movement.

Di Próspero had led the APL since 2004, most recently securing a sixth consecutive term in August 2025 with 85.5% of the vote.
