Economy Minister of Argentina, Martin Guzman, resigned Saturday after leading debt renegotiations with the International Monetary Fund, causing new uncertainty in Latin America’s third-largest economy.
In his statement to President Alberto Fernandez, Guzman did not explain why he resigned, but he urged the center-left leader to heal internal divisions so that “the next minister does not suffer” the same difficulties he did.
“It will be essential that you work on an agreement within the ruling coalition,” he added in the statement shared on Twitter.
His resignation comes two weeks after Vice President Cristina Kirchner, a former president who has been a constant critic of the government, gave a speech attacking Fernandez’s economic management.
Political analyst Carlos Fara told AFP that Guzman’s resignation was “a check mate for the president’s autonomy” and had given Kirchner the upper hand in their power struggle.
“The resignation will have a very bad effect in the markets. Even if the president and vice president reach a consensus on managing the economy, from now on everything will be conditioned by Cristina Kirchner’s pressure.”

Last Monday, a tank of chlorine gas fell while being loaded by crane onto a ship in Jordan’s Red Sea port of Aqaba, releasing the toxic substance.
At least 13 people, including five Vietnamese nationals, were killed and more than 260 others injured, according to the latest official toll.
An investigation showed “great deficiency and negligence in safety measures for dealing with hazardous materials in the Aqaba port”, Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh said during a cabinet meeting.
The director and other officials from the state port operator as well as the head of the maritime authority were sacked, the premier added.
The gas canister’s weight far exceeded the maximum load of the crane cable bearing it, said Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya, who headed the investigation.
