Argentina's Energy and Mining Secretary Daniel González resigns

Daniel González resigned Wednesday as Argentina's coordinating secretary of Energy and Mining, with Economy Minister Luis Caputo announcing the departure Thursday and thanking him for his work. González joined the Milei administration in September 2024 after serving as YPF CEO. González said his exit marks the end of a cycle, noting he lacks political ambition and had proposed leaving months ago, but Caputo delayed it due to legislative priorities. He cited pending projects including the Cold Zone Law, Fuels Law, and the Super RIGI investment incentive program. The former official expressed gratitude to President Milei and Caputo, saying he enjoyed being part of the country's transformation. He also mentioned the need to accelerate RIGI project approvals to avoid a snowball effect from the high volume of incoming investments.
