Political life
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]
In the city of São Paulo, on the eve of the 2024 municipal elections, the senator declared his support for the left-wing pre-candidate, Guilherme Boulos. Even though he is affiliated in the same party of the incumbent in the city's executive position Ricardo Nunes, the senator gained little notoriety after highly criticizing the idea of the mayor announcing a retired military police officer, Colonel Mello Araújo, as a vice-candidate on Nunes' ticket for his re-election.[12]
