Political career

In March 2010, Hagman was elected co-president of the Federación Universitaria de Buenos Aires (FUBA), Argentina's largest student federation. In 2013, Hagman became part of Marea Popular, a political group formed with the aim of competing in the 2013 legislative election in Buenos Aires. Alongside Popular Unity, Marea Popular formed part of the Camino Popular front; the list, which attained 2.17% of the vote in the P.A.S.O. primaries in August 2013, had Hagman as the first candidate to the Chamber of Deputies.

In 2016, Hagman launched, alongside others, the AHORA Buenos Aires platform. The platform was part of Unidad Ciudadana in Buenos Aires (where it was known as Unidad Porteña), and participated in the 2017 P.A.S.O. primaries against the lists headed by Daniel Filmus and Guillermo Moreno. The AHORA Buenos Aires list landed last in the primaries, and did not get to participate in the general election.

In 2018, he formed part of the foundation of the Patria Grande Front, alongside social leader Juan Grabois and other left-wing activists and politicians. Hagman was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2019 in the Frente de Todos list in Buenos Aires, in which he was the third candidate.
