Political life

Giordano is sworn in as Senator.

Giordano was elected in 2018 as first-substitute of Senator in the ticket of Major Olímpio[3] and Marcos Pontes. After Olímpio's death, he was sworn in on 31 March 2021.[4]

Before his membership to the Social Liberal Party, Giordano was member of the Green Party (PV) and the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB).[1]

Giordano was pointed as a key figure of the deal between Brazil and Paraguay for the selling of excess Paraguayan energy from Itaipu Dam to the Léros company.[5][6][7][8][9] This crisis almost led to an impeachment process against Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez.[10][11]
