Daniel González Resigns as Argentina’s Energy and Mining Coordinator

Close sources say he is returning to the private sector, prompting internal reallocation of responsibilities as the ministry vows continuity for RIGI and energy policy.

Overview

  • Economy Minister Luis Caputo confirmed González’s resignation and publicly thanked him for his work in a social-media post.
  • Reports citing people close to González say he left for personal reasons and intends to return to the private sector.
  • The Ministry of Economy said key deputies, including María Tettamanti and Luis Lucero, will remain in place and the RIGI team will continue its work.
  • González, a former YPF CEO, had a technical, largely nonpartisan profile and became an influential figure in shaping the administration’s energy and mining approach.
  • The departure adds to turnover within the economic team and could raise the profile of other secretariat officials while the government seeks to reassure investors about project continuity.
