Demian Reidel, who served as an advisor to Argentine President Javier Milei, has officially stepped down from his position on the board of Nucleoeléctrica Argentina (NASA), the company responsible for managing and operating the country's nuclear power plants. His resignation comes in the wake of accusations regarding contracts believed to involve overpricing. Official sources confirmed that Reidel announced his departure from the state-run company on Monday, following a shareholders' meeting that resulted in the appointment of Juan Martín Campos as his successor.

This incident marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the management of Nucleoeléctrica, particularly as it relates to financial dealings. Notably, the company's board recently removed two members close to Reidel amidst rising concerns and allegations of questionable pricing practices linked to a tender for cleaning services at the Atucha and Embalse nuclear facilities. These actions indicate a broader effort to address transparency and accountability within the organization as it navigates tensions regarding public spending.

Reidel's resignation, characterized as an essential leadership shift, may have implications for both the governance of Nucleoeléctrica and perceptions of the Milei administration’s handling of public contracts. As this story is still developing, it raises questions about how future appointments and contracts will be managed in an environment marked by scrutiny and allegations of corruption in the energy sector.
