The general director of the Board of Trustees of the National Monte de Piedad, Rafael del Río, presented his resignation from the position, which will take effect on November 30. His departure occurs in the midst of the strike that has kept the institution paralyzed for more than 40 days, marking a critical moment both operationally and financially.
The Board of Trustees recognized Del Río’s management, but his resignation complicates the installation of a negotiation table with the workers. Management’s priority will now be to ensure the continuity of operations and direct efforts towards the prompt resolution of the labor dispute.

At the same time, the search process for a new general director has already begun, with the aim of incorporating a profile capable of facing the challenges of the post-strike and leading the internal restructuring of the institution.
Del Río’s resignation represents an immediate challenge for the Board of Trustees, which must demonstrate the strength of its governance structure and its ability to simultaneously manage a labor and leadership crisis.
Despite the situation, the National Monte de Piedad – with 250 years of history – has assured its clients of the protection of their pledged assets and keeps all channels of information, payments and resolution of doubts available through its official website.
