The streamer explained that his decision would not be improvised, as he claimed to have people supporting him in this project and a party structure. However, he preferred to keep the names and details of his eventual candidacy under wraps.
“There is already a team, there is already a political party that I will be telling you about, I mean, I’m not going to tell you now yet, but I will do it,” he hinted.
Additionally, he mentioned that he plans to travel to Spain, where he will take advantage of his stay to reflect on his next steps and work on the proposals he intends to develop.
“Now I’m going to Spain. To think about projects, to focus a lot on that”, he explained.
For now, Cirio did not specify which district he would seek to compete in, which political space he would join, or in which election he would try to present himself. His announcement, therefore, expresses an intention to run, without any formal candidacy being reported yet.
The message from Martín Cirio to his followers after announcing his candidacy
During his speech, the content creator also recalled the difficulties he faced before reaching the popularity he currently has.
In particular, he mentioned his beginnings in Parque Patricios and an experience he had in 2002 when he tried to participate in the musical program Popstars and was not selected.
“You know that I always started from the bottom in Parque Patricios, then traveling with very little money. And I’m also going to start from the bottom in politics,” he assured.
“When I went to Popstars in 2002, I didn’t make it. And yet I didn’t give up and I was able to reach where I am today. So I hope the same happens in politics and I hope you support me in this, which I know is weird, but well. I feel like that’s where my path is heading now,” he added.
He also invited his followers to support the announcement on social media using the hashtag #MartinCirioDiputado.
Martín Cirio surprised his followers by announcing his intention to run for deputy. The unexpected news came on Saturday, November 14, during his show La Noche de Martina 2, which took place at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium of the Club Atlético Huracán, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Parque Patricios.
In front of thousands of people, the content creator set aside the humor that characterizes his broadcasts for a few minutes to share a reflection on his future. As he explained, after achieving various professional goals, he began to wonder what his next step would be and found political participation as a new motivation.
“The truth is... I feel like I've given a lot and nothing, I also wonder a lot what to do, what the next step is, and I felt a bit lost, I had this sense of meaninglessness in life”, he expressed to the audience.

In that sense, he acknowledged that his closest followers already knew some of his personal concerns and explained that, in recent months, he began to get involved in various social causes.
“You may have seen me lately that I am more committed to some social causes, I am going to marches, I am getting informed, I am reading more”, he pointed out.
It was then that he revealed that he found a new way to channel his interests and, at the same time, to thank the support he has received throughout his career.
“I found something there that interests me a lot, that in some way is like giving back a little of everything you have given me and what you give me, which ultimately is fulfilling this dream, making myself happy in everything I want to do and helping me a lot,” he stated.
The 40-year-old man hopes to have the support not only of his fans, but also of those who hate him.
Martín Cirio confirmed that he wants to be a deputy and revealed how he will enter politics
After sharing his reflections, Martín Cirio announced that he has decided to take his first steps in Argentine politics. Although he initially made a joke about a possible presidential candidacy, he quickly clarified what his true intention is.
“I decided to get into politics... I know it sounds really weird what I'm saying, I know. But I decided to get into politics. I’m going to... I’m going to run for president. Just kidding. No, seriously, no. I’m going to start from the bottom,” he stated.
Then, he confirmed: “I’m going to run for deputy”.
