Argentina's government has officially appointed Alfredo Mario Soto as the new director of Casa Argentina in Paris. The appointment was confirmed through Resolution 341/2026, signed by Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello and published in Argentina’s Official Bulletin on 15 September. The resolution ends weeks of speculation and officially designates Soto as the director of the Fundación Argentina.
Santiago Muzio, who had been the director since 2024, resigned effective 7 September. Soto, a legal and social sciences expert and former Casa Argentina resident, begins his three-year term on 8 September. His appointment follows Muzio's resignation amid controversy over a missing memorial plaque and disagreements over the campus charter of values.
The resolution marks the formal closure of a contentious period, but the fate of the missing plaque and the outcome of a pending audit remain unresolved.
