Martín Matzkin Sworn In as National Deputy for La Libertad Avanza

Martín Matzkin has formally taken his seat as a national deputy, filling the vacancy left by Adrián Ravier, who was appointed presidential spokesperson for Javier Milei. Matzkin, who occupies the third position on the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) list in La Pampa, ran in alliance with Pro during the 2025 legislative elections.

Matzkin, a 52-year-old lawyer, comes from a politically significant family in La Pampa. His uncle, Jorge Rubén “Toto” Matzkin, was a influential figure in local Peronism, serving as provincial Minister of Economy before 1976 and later as a national deputy and a key parliamentary figure for Carlos Menem's movement. He also held positions as deputy minister of the Interior and minister of the Interior during transitional governments.

Martín Matzkin began his political involvement during these years, contributing to the organization of the PJ in La Pampa. While his uncle faced accusations of maneuvering against Néstor Kirchner in 2003, he maintained he actively supported Kirchner's campaign. Over time, Martín Matzkin distanced himself from the dominant Kirchnerist faction of Peronism, aligning himself with Pro, similar to other politicians of Peronist origin.

Before becoming a deputy, Matzkin served as undersecretary of Federal Programming and Legislative Articulation at the Ministry of Security, a role he assumed under Patricia Bullrich when she led the ministry. Bullrich was present at his swearing-in ceremony in the Chamber of Deputies, where Matzkin was surrounded by his political allies.
