from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julio Rodolfo Moctezuma Cid (* 1927 in Mexico City ) is a former Mexican politician of the Party of Institutionalized Revolution PRI ( Partido Revolucionario Institucional ) and economic manager , who was Minister of Finance ( Secretarío de Hacienda ) from 1976 to 1977 .

Life

After attending school, Moctezuma began studying law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), from which he graduated with a licentiate (Licenciado) . He then worked as a lawyer and also took on a professorship for political science at UNAM. He later served as secretary to Raúl Ortíz Mena, who was then Undersecretary of State in the President's Office, between 1959 and 1961. After Gustavo Díaz Ordaz was elected president , he returned to the presidential office, where he was initially deputy head of the planning department and finally head of the public investment department. In this capacity, he also became a member of a committee on public administration headed by José López Portillo , head of the legal department of the presidential office, which also included Emilio Mújica Montoya , Carlos Tello Macías , Fernando Solana Morales , Miguel Duahlt, Enrique Loaeza and Gustavo Martínez Cabañas. In 1974 he became head of the office of the current Finance Minister José López Portillo and then took over the post of General Director of the Institute for Political, Economic and Social Studies IEPES (Instituto de Estudios Políticos, Económicos ) belonging to the Party of Institutionalized Revolution PRI ( Partido Revolucionario Institucional ) in 1975 y Sociales) and as such was one of the most important advisors to the current presidential candidate López Portillo in this think tank .

After the election of López Portillo, Moctezuma was finally appointed by him on December 1, 1976 as Minister of Finance ( Secretarío de Hacienda ) in his cabinet. In the period that followed, however, there were repeated differences of opinion with the Minister for Programs and Budget ( Secretarío de Programación y Presupuesto ) Carlos Tello Macías, but also with the Minister for Assets and Industrial Promotion ( Secretario de Patrimonio y Fomento Industrial ) José Andrés de Oteyza , on the government's economic course. These differing views ultimately led President López Portillo to dismiss Moctezuma and Tello on November 16, 1977, but left Oteyza in office. While David Ibarra Muñoz became the new finance minister, Ricardo García Sáinz took over the post of Minister for Programs and Budget. In 1979, however, he returned to the presidential office and became an advisor to the president on special projects.

In the wake of the second oil price crisis that began in 1979 , Moctezuma dissolved Jorge Díaz Serrano as general director of the mineral oil company PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos) on June 6, 1981 and remained in this position until he was replaced by Mario Ramón Beteta in 1982. He himself in turn took over the post from Beteta as President of the SOMEX (Sociedad Mexicana de Credito Industrial) financial institution , later taken over by Banco Santander . In 1988 he left this office.
