After closing the First National Convention for the 2030 Agenda, the Secretary of Economy, Raquel Buenrostro denied the rumors that she is going to leave the federal agency to occupy the position that will be left by Rocío Nahle, who is head of the Ministry of Energy and will seek to compete for Veracruz in the 2024 elections.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador recently reported that next week he will announce the name of the person who will replace Rocío Nahle as head of the Ministry of Energy (SENER), and the name of Raquel Buenrostro was among the possible candidates.

"No, I am very comfortable in the Ministry of Economy and unless the president decides otherwise, but as long as the president does not say anything, we are committed to the Economy, working hard," the head of Economy told reporters.

In this sense, she emphasized that the final decision always rests with the president and “I have not been notified by the president to change my position,” she clarified.

Who will replace Rocío Nahle?

While AMLO decides on a person who can fill the position as head of the Ministry of Energy, by the time Nahle leaves, some people have been mentioned as possible candidates for this position.

One of them is Miguel Ángel Maciel Torres, Undersecretary of Hydrocarbons at Sener.

Another candidate could be Paola Elizabeth López Chávez, commissioner in the presidency of the Board of Directors of Pemex.

Among the possible successors, the name of Abraham David Alipi Mena also sounds, who is the current general director of the National Center for Natural Gas Control (CENAGAS).

Another name mentioned has been that of Rocío Abreu Artiñano, president of the Energy Commission of the Senate of the Republic.

Finally, the last possible candidate would be Manuel Rodríguez González, who is president of the Energy Commission of the Chamber of Deputies.

Buenrostro highlights unorthodox measures applied by Mexico during COVID crisis

At the First National Convention for the 2030 Agenda, the Secretary of Economy of Mexico, Raquel Buenrostro Sánchez, highlighted theunconventional economic policies adopted by the Mexican government to face the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

These measures, she stated, have led the country to experience growth rates higher than those of most G20 countries.

In her speech, Buenrostro said that the multiple crises that have hit the world in recent years, from the pandemic to political conflicts and wars, have required creative and unorthodox responses from nations. In this context, she commented that Mexico has stood out for its unique approach, which has even been recognized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its reports.

“It is the difference that this government makes. We have applied unorthodox policies, while everyone said that we had to go into debt or give tax incentives so that companies did not suffer, because we did not give tax incentives, revenue collection was maintained, social programs were increased , internal consumption was maintained. “said the head of Economy.

According to Buenrostro, these decisions have allowed Mexico to maintain a rate of growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that exceeds the average of the G20 countries and places it among the most outstanding in terms of economic growth. ”We are above all our allied countries in terms of economic growth,” she stressed.

The Secretary of Economy emphasized that, despite criticism and challenges, the Mexican Government's unconventional approach has proven to be effective in preserving economic stability and protecting the most vulnerable sectors of the population.

Furthermore, she highlighted that these policies are aligned with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a global commitment that seeks to address socioeconomic and environmental challenges over the next decade.
