Guillermo Moreno (b.
Buenos Aires, October 15, 1955) is an Argentine politician.
He served from 2005 to 2013 as Secretary of Domestic Trade, a position to which he was appointed by President Néstor Kirchner and in which he remained under the presidency of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner until his resignation, in the midst of scandal, in November 2013.
He was found guilty in March 2014 of abuse of authority and is currently economic attaché at the Argentinian embassy in Rome. A 2011 Financial Times (FT) article stated that Moreno was widely viewed as “Argentina’s de facto economy minister.” Moreno, wrote the Infobae news website in 2013, “is the man who drives the economy of Argentina.” He was also described during his cabinet tenure as “the person most reviled by businesses – good and bad alike – in Argentina.”At the time of his resignation, Bloomberg News described Moreno as “the most feared government official” who had spent eight years “controlling prices and imports using strong-arm tactics that earned him a reputation as a bully.” Mercopress, in 2010, called him “a controversial but all-powerful thug-style figure from the Kirchner bunker.”
