MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Carlos Urzua resigned as Mexico's finance minister on Tuesday, a blow to the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who named a well-regarded deputy minister to replace him.
Urzua, a moderate, said in his resignation letter that the administration made policy decisions without "sufficient foundation," and that his belief was not shared that economic policies should be based on evidence and free of political motivation.
