Yani Benjamin Rosenthal Hildago (born July 14, 1965 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras) is a businessman and politician.
His parents are Jaime Rosenthal and Miriam Marina Hildago de Rosenthal. He has a sister, Patricia and three brothers; Jaime (deceased), Carlos José and César Augusto. He is married to Claudia Madrid. They have four daughters, Isabella, Victoria, Elissa and Alexandra.
In 1993 his home suffered damages from a bomb attack. Rosenthal was Director of Diario Tiempo (Honduras Times Newspaper) and published a series of articles about military abuses and his home was temporary shelter of a witness of a killing performed by military, so it has been alleged that the military was involved.
Rosenthal studied high school at Bilingual School: Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, he is a lawyer graduated from UNAH-Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (Honduras National Autonomous University). In 1998 the Honduras Supreme Court of Justice granted him the title of Notary public.
Rosenthal began his work as an activist for the Liberal Party at a young age.
Rosenthal was an alternate member of the Liberal Party's Central Executive Committee from 2001 to 2005 and a full member as Secretary of International Relations from 2005 to 2009.
When Mel Zelaya took office on January 27, 2006 as Honduras President, Rosenthal was appointed as Minister of the Presidency. Due to his lack of any public service experience, his appointment was criticized in the local media, since it was seen as a result of the political negotiations of his father. Jaime Rosenthal Sr. has backed Yani in the political arena in recent years. After the death of his younger brother Jaime in a gun accident, Yani was seen as the natural successor to his father.
His previous experience was very limited. He was advisor of San Pedro Sula municipality when Jerónimo Sandoval Sorto was mayor of the city (1986–1990). Also he was the coordinator of the presidential campaign of his father Jaime Rosenthal and in 2005 after an internal election within the Liberal Party, he was regional coordinator of Mel Zelaya presidential campaign.
