He changed political direction and joined the Peronist party, which was anti-Marxist, during the 1950s. Her father became the rector of the University of Buenos Aires in the early 1970s and Adriana was elected dean of the Philosophy faculty.[1]

She is a member of the Broad Front political party and on 17 December 2011 she was elected president of the party with Alberto Weretilneck as vice-president.[2]

In 2021 she was an adviser to the President Alberto Fernández. She was involved in a dispute over when to get children to return to school during the pandemic. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta was arguing for a date in mid February, but Puiggros argued that it should be delayed until March when the teachers could be vaccinated.[3]
