Before party politics, Bregman worked in labor and human rights law: in 1997 she co-founded the Center for Human Rights Professionals (CeProDH) and from 1998 she represented the workers of the worker-run Zanon factory in Neuquén.
A lawyer in crimes against humanity trials
Bregman was a plaintiff's lawyer in the 2006 trial of former police commissioner Miguel Osvaldo Etchecolatz, the first after impunity laws were annulled. Jorge Julio López testified in that case; he disappeared the same year and his case remains unsolved. She also took part in trials over crimes at the ESMA and in the 2007 trial of priest Christian von Wernich (Wikipedia).

Myriam Bregman in the polls: image and voting intention
Polls show a gap: Bregman has a high positive image but single-digit or just over 10% voting intention. These are the surveys with known pollster and date:
| Pollster | Date | Positive image | Voting intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tendencias | Aug 24-29, 2026 (4,958 cases) | — | 10.2% |
| Opina Argentina | Published Aug 2026 | 44% (46% negative) | 6% to 7% |
| Management & Fit | Jul 2026 | 22.8% (38.8% negative) | — |
| Tendencias | May 22-27, 2026 (4,740 cases) | 42.3% (top of the ranking) | — |
| Giacobbe | May 2026 | 32.3% (44.9% negative) | Estimated ceiling of 7% to 8% |
| Hugo Haime | Published Apr 2026 | 36.8% | 13.8% |
| Opinaia | Published Apr 2026 | 31% | 7% |
| Proyección | Published Apr 2026 | 40.1% | 3.7% |
Sources: Perfil, Letra P, La Nación and El Destape. Two caveats. First, El Destape describes Tendencias as a pollster "close to the FIT", and its figures for Bregman are among the highest. Second, most are online polls with different methods, so trends are more meaningful than exact figures.
Will Myriam Bregman run for president in 2027?
It is not confirmed. Bregman says "it is not the time to talk about candidacies", although within the FIT and across the political system her candidacy is taken for granted, according to El Destape. She explained her rise this way: "There is recognition for the left for the way we have confronted Milei's far-right government". On a broader alliance, she ruled out Peronism: "We have to build a political force larger than the FIT, but Peronism is clearly heading elsewhere".
In the government, her rise is seen as a problem for Peronism more than for Milei. "It suits the government that Myriam is high", a Casa Rosada source told La Nación. Analysts such as Jorge Giacobbe believe her image will not translate into votes in the same proportion: "Does this huge rise mean the proletarian revolution is coming? No".
Her political positions
- Opposition to Milei: she rejects the government's labor reform and fiscal adjustment; her posts during the labor reform debate drew nearly one million likes, according to El Destape.
- Human rights: her career began in trials over crimes of the dictatorship.
- Feminism: she is a leading figure of the Pan y Rosas group and supported legalizing abortion in 2018.
- Alliances: she rejects a front with Peronism and with Kicillof's coalition.
