Facundo Moyano, son of Argentina's most powerful unionist, combines politics with celebrity life

Facundo Moyano, a prominent figure in Argentine labor and politics and the son of the influential union leader Hugo Moyano, has stepped down from his national deputy position after a decade in Congress. Moyano, who founded the Toll Workers Union (Sutpa) in 2006, has returned to lead the organization. He has often distinguished himself within his family by maintaining a high-profile lifestyle and engaging with the entertainment world.

Moyano's political career has seen him navigate complex family dynamics, particularly his public disagreements with his brother Pablo, who holds a senior position in the powerful Truckers Union. Facundo's younger brother, Huguito Moyano, a labor lawyer, recently accompanied him when he was detained and charged with assaulting Candela Arizaga, with whom he had a relationship. The legal defense for Facundo Moyano is being handled by criminal lawyer Juan Pablo Fioribello.

Throughout his career, Moyano has sought to blend his political and union activities with a presence in the entertainment sphere. His name has frequently appeared in gossip columns, and he has reportedly had relationships with public figures such as Susana Giménez and model Nazarena Vélez. His union's end-of-year parties have featured popular singers like L-Gante, who also had a past relationship with Arizaga.

It is a pride for me to accompany Florencia in this new stage of our union organization Sutba. Just as a few years ago we promoted and introduced the debate about union democracy, limiting mandates and giving participation to all workers, today we have achieved that a general secretary leads our union. It is not for the photo, it is not bullshit or a story. A woman leads a democratic union and 55% of the Board of Directors is made up of women.
