was ratified as president of the Chamber for another two years by all parliamentary blocs in the Chamber. One of Massa's flagship issues during his tenure as president of the Chamber was the reduction of tax pressures on the middle class. In 2022, Renewal Front deputies introduced legislation to raise the minimum quota for income tax. Minister of Economy On 29 July 2022, Massa was designated as the country's new Minister of Economy, taking over three previously stand-alone ministries of Economy, Productive Development and Agriculture in the cabinet of President Alberto Fernández. Massa's designation came less than a month after Silvina Batakis' appointment, following the resignation of Martín Guzmán. The fusion of the three ministries led the media to dub Massa superministro ("super-minister"), a term that had previously been used to describe economy ministers in other governments such as Nicolás Dujovne and Domingo Cavallo. Initial market speculations regarding Massa's first measures as minister led to the Argentine peso recovering against the US dollar, with the unofficial exchange rate ("dólar blue") descending to $280 ARS per dollar on 1 August 2022, down from the peak of $338 ARS per dollar on 21 July. Personal life Massa is married to Malena Galmarini, a fellow politician and member of a Peronist political family. Galmarini and Massa met in 1996, and married in 2001. The couple have two children, Milagros and Tomás. Through Galmarini's father, Fernando Galmarini, Massa is the son in law of TV presenter and vedette Moria Casán. Sports-wise, Massa is a supporter of Club Atlético Tigre.
