Moyano has been active in union politics since 2005. [5] In 2006, he co-founded the Sindicato Único de Trabajadores de los Peajes y Afines (SUTPA), a specialized union for toll booth workers in the Greater Buenos Aires, organized within the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). SUTPA gained major concessions from private contractors in 2007 and 2008.

Moyano was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2011, as the 11th candidate in the Front for Victory list in Buenos Aires Province. [8] He was elected and sat in the Front for Victory bloc, aligned with the government of then-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. [9] By 2012, however, the relationship between the CGT and Fernández de Kirchner's government had deteriorated, [10] and in 2013, Moyano split from the FPV bloc. That year, Hugo Moyano founded the Party of Culture, Education and Labour (CET Party), which Facundo Moyano joined. In the Chamber of Deputies, Moyano formed part of the Renewal Front bloc, led by Sergio Massa. [11]

Ahead of the 2015 legislative election, Moyano was the first deputy candidate in the United for a New Alternative (UNA) list in Buenos Aires Province. [12] The UNA list received 20.98% of the popular vote in Buenos Aires Province, and Moyano was re-elected. [13] In 2018, Moyano and a group of deputies broke ranks with the Renewal Front and formed the Red por Argentina parliamentary bloc. [14] Before the 2019 general election, the CET Party, alongside the entirety of the CGT, joined forces with other Peronist political groups and formed the Frente de Todos (FDT) to back the presidential candidacy of Alberto Fernández. Moyano was the eleventh candidate in the FDT deputies list in Buenos Aires Province, which received 51.64% of the vote, allowing for Moyano to be re-elected. [15]

As deputy, Moyano introduced legislation on labour affairs and on transport. In 2020, he introduced a bill to reduce the legal alcohol levels for drivers to 0. [16] For the 2019–2023 term, Moyano was part of the parliamentary commissions on Science and Technology, Sports, Population and Human Development, Industry, Labour Legislation, and Transport. [1] He was a vocal supporter of the legalization of abortion in Argentina, voting in favour of the two Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bills that were debated by the Argentine Congress in 2018 and 2020. [17] [18]

Moyano resigned from his seat in the Chamber of Deputies on 12 August 2021. [19]

Personal life

Moyano's romantic life has been subject to media scrutiny. [20] He has been intermittently linked to models Nicole Neumann and Eva Bargiela. [21] [22] [23] On 15 October 2021, Moyano and Bargiela married in a private ceremony in Palermo, Buenos Aires. [24]

In March 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, Moyano stated that he would not get the vaccine, and called COVID-19 a "very psychosomatic, very strange disease". [25] [26] He would later apologize and retract his statements. [27] Moyano had previously tested positive for COVID-19. [28]
