[8]

On March 11, 2022, he assumes the position of deputy of the Republic. He is a member of the permanent commissions of Future, Sciences, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation; and Extreme Zones and Chilean Antarctica. [8] After the legal dissolution of the PRI, he joined the Evópoli bench, but in May 2022 he was expelled from it, after having signed a constitutional accusation against the former Chancellor, Andrés Allamand. [9] In July 2022 he joined the People's Party bench. [10]
