Political career
During the 1990s, Caserio was director of the Rio II petrochemical plant and director of the National Administration of Health Insurance, and was elected to the provincial senate of Córdoba Province before its disestablishment with the adoption of a new provincial constitution.[5] From 1998 to 1999, he was undersecretary of commerce and food in the Ministry of Agriculture, during the presidency of Carlos Menem.[6]
In the 2015 general election, Caserio was the first Union for Córdoba candidate to the National Senate. With 21.11% of the vote, the Union for Córdoba list was the second-most voted alliance in the province, granting Caserio the seat for the minority as per the limited voting system used for the Argentine upper house.[2] He was sworn in on 3 December 2015.[8]
While he originally remained in a single-member bloc (nominally representing Union for Córdoba), following the 2017 legislative election Caserio joined the Argentina Federal bloc led by Miguel Ángel Pichetto.[9] Following the 2019 general election, most sectors of the peronist movement unified into the Frente de Todos, of which Caserio formed part. Caserio resigned from his post as president of the Córdoba Justicialist Party over disagreements with governor Schiaretti regarding the Frente de Todos and the decision by the Córdoba PJ to remain outside it.[10]
As senator, Caserio formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Agriculture, National Defense, Regional Economies and Small Businesses, Tourism, Population and Human Development, and Internal Security, and he presided the commission on Budgets and Finances.[2] He was a supporter of the legalization of abortion in Argentina, voting in favour the two Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bill debated by the Argentine Congress in 2018 and 2020.[11]
Caserio stood for re-election in 2021 as the first candidate in the Frente de Todos list, alongside deputy Gabriela Estévez. The Frente de Todos list received merely 10.47% of the votes, and landed third, losing the seat for the minority. Caserio's term expired on 10 December 2021.[12]
