Marino maintains that his main task as a legislator is to pass a law that provides for a universal basic salary, although this has never materialized.[11][12]
Before the 2023 Primary Elections, he presented his book "Militant Strategy, Here and Now" at the Buenos Aires Graphic Federation.[13]
In the 2023 legislative elections he won a place in the chamber, after being placed 15th on the Union for the Homeland list.[14]
