Overview

  • President Javier Milei and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno signed Decree 937/2025, published Jan. 2, accepting Nahuel Sotelo’s resignation.
  • Sotelo vacated the post effective Dec. 2, 2025 to be sworn in as a provincial deputy for La Libertad Avanza in Buenos Aires.
  • Agustín Caulo, the subsecretary and Sotelo’s trusted deputy, was confirmed by government sources to take over the secretariat.
  • Caulo shares Sotelo’s conservative Catholic profile, previously led the National Directorate of Catholic Worship, and is aligned with Santiago Caputo’s ‘fuerzas celestiales’.
  • The office, housed in the Foreign Ministry, is expected to maintain its approach to religious affairs and Vatican outreach, a focus underscored by Sotelo’s prior ambassador-at-large designation under Decree 768/2024.
