Carlos Saúl Menem

If the text is from Argentina, which I´m pretty sure of, that´s the reference you´re looking for. We call the ex-president, the unnamable (el innombrable), the Riojan (el riojano), etc...

Good luck from a stressed Argetinian

agree Elena Vazquez Fernandez : Probablemente sea esto. Probablemente no, seguro, por eso dije que no estaba nada segura, no sabía que llamabais así a Ménem ¿Por qué "el riojano"?

Porque nació en la provincia argentina de La Rioja, sí, no sólo los españoles tienen su "La Rioja". Gracias Elena

If you are reading an Spanish text...

I mean, a text from Spain, "el riojano" caould mean a person who is from "La Rioja" in Spain, but I am not sure at all if this is the word for this context.

Good luck.

I\'m almost sure that Leonardo\'s answer is the best one for this!

As I said, I was not sure at all about my answer, sorry.
