His name is Mario Adrián Gabaglio and he is the second candidate for deputy on the list of the Federal Renewal Party for the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires.

The novelty -and nice- of this aspiring, who is

not known in the political world,

 is that the porteños will be able to find him in the dark room with the

clown

attire

That's how it is.

The clown Marulito, as he proclaims himself on his social networks, launched himself into politics publicly and generated all kinds of repercussions.

From those who took his candidacy with humor and

asked him to "juggle"

to reverse the situation in the country, to those who welcome his relaxed and spontaneous way of campaigning.

Graduated in Economics, born in Barracas 53 years ago and a member of the Justicialista Party since adolescence, Marulito came to work at the coordinating table for Carlos Menem's campaign in 2003. In dialogue with

Clarín

, he confesses a secret: he never served as a professional clown , but that he wanted to generate "an impact" on society.

The ballot in which the clown Marulito appears behind Rita Fiorino.

"When they see me disguised as a clown in the Legislature, it will be to denounce those who live in the State, and I will go every day. You have to change faces and have dignity," he warns.

"This September 12, Marulito to the Legislature"

, he usually repeats with bombastic tone in the "campaign" videos that he uploads to his Twitter account, which he created a few days ago and which only has 150 followers;

a ridiculous number of followers when compared with other candidates who are close to one million.

His catchphrase, often preceded by the "hello, guys" (even if they don't vote), is usually accompanied by a red nose and a multicolored wig with kinky hair.

He says he wants "a City with the values ​​of work, family and love."

In fact, he

promises to visit all the neighborhoods "with joy

.

"

Although in the networks he shows himself with overflowing energy, in telephone communication he assures that reality hurts him.

There is a sad clown side.

"

This clown is also anguished and cries for the 100,000 dead

, for how the merchants are, how is society ...".

And he points to both Macrismo and Kirchnerism: "The Government uses Peronism as a label to make it appear that they are, but they are not."

With the premise of proposing "new ideas", Gabaglio ranks second on list 79, behind Rita Fiorino and ahead of Giselle Ojeda.

The candidate for national deputy and president of the Federal Renewal Party in CABA is the dentist

Lucas Jaszewski, who gave the go-ahead to Gabaglio to dress as a clown on the ballot

.

"I have been consulting with specialists in electoral law and it could be perfectly. We want to make an impact from the point of view of how the representation of politics is today. Look at the closings of lists, all internal fights and they speak of unity. We are conforming a new space, with new people, "said Jaszewski.

"Marulito" is about the candidate of the Federal Renewal Party, a force that was created as the hallmark of Sergio Massa's Renewal Front in the City and that rose to fame in 2017 for taking former striker José Sanfilippo as a candidate for deputy 

shouting "garrote, club, club

"

Marulito could have taken the course of 

Piñón Fijo

and dominated the stages of children's theaters, but he preferred to emulate the Clown Tiririca, the second most voted deputy in the history of Brazil. 

Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva (his real name) started working in a circus at the age of eight and

during 2020 he served his third term in the Brazilian Congress

.

"What is the job of a federal deputy? I have no idea, but if they vote for me later I'll tell them."

Laughing, this was Tiririca's slogan when he ran for the 2010 legislative elections, while some media and intellectuals on duty mocked his candidacy. 

In short,

the Brazilian clown won with 1,348,295 votes

and became the second most voted deputy in the history of Brazil.

In September you can see the fate of the Argentine clown Marulito ...
