Mexico’s new energy minister to face significant challenges
On 16 October, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appointed Miguel Ángel Maciel Torres as the country’s new energy minister. This followed the resignation of Rocío Nahle, who had headed up the energy ministry (Sener) since the beginning of López Obrador’s term in December 2018. Maciel will have a little over a year in the position before the change of government next year. He has a lot to accomplish in that time including overseeing the completion of one of the president’s flagship projects, navigating disputes with the US, and managing the state-run oil company (Pemex)’s huge debt and falling oil production.
