More changes and resignations in the Environment Department amid the fires in the South: four directors of the area have left

In the midst of the crisis caused by the fires in the south of the country, the Undersecretary of the Environment is facing a massive resignation of directors. They were unhappy with a hypersensitive area that is adrift, under threats of more chainsaw driven by the new Undersecretary Fernando Brom.

President Javier Milei said he plans to withdraw Argentina from the so-called Paris Agreement, in line with Donald Trump. But he has not yet fully decided.

According to Clarín, the directors who resigned announced that they were leaving without reservation. They are four directors who had taken over under Ana Lamas, the former undersecretary who resigned in the middle of the month in the midst of the fire crisis.

Moreover, unlike Lamas, a respected professional not only in the field of environmental and planning, Brom comes from the business sector with no experience in her new position. It is an area with less and less structure and a lot of work.

Brom was officially sworn in on February 19 despite criticism that the government had failed to prevent fires.

The final stage of this crisis erupted when the Fire Department was taken over by the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich.

But now the Director of Natural Resources, Federico Caeiro, the Director of Climate Management and Sustainable Development, Cristina Goyenechea, and the Director of Institutional and Interjurisdictional Affairs, Rodrigo Walsh, are leaving. The Director of Environmental Protection, Guillermo Marchessi, and the person in charge of the Brigade, Diego Cuesta, also resigned.

They are all specialists who took over under Lamas.
