Guzmán announced on Twitter his resignation as Economy Minister on Saturday at the same time as Vice President Cristina Kirchner took up criticism against him in the framework of the Ensenada Act.
According to the agency’s statements ReutersStiglitz said the minister he did a great job to resolve a debt crisis left by the previous government and revive growth after the pandemic.
