Since March 1, 2020 he serves as Minister of Social Development, during the administration of Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou.[3][4] His Deputy Minister is Armando Castaingdebat (Former Intendant of the Flores Department) and the Director General of the Secretariat is the attorney Nicolás Martinelli.[5]

Bartol moved the office of the ministry to Casavalle, one of the poorest barrios in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.[6]

On May 1, 2021, President Lacalle Pou announced that Bartol had been removed from office, because the "health, labor, social and educational consequences of the pandemic will demand a strong political and territorial articulation mark";[7] and he expressed his appreciation for his "dedication and commitment to serving the country." Bartol had no political party ties until his approach to Lacalle Pou's team.[8] In addition, the president announced that Martín Lema would be the new head of the portfolio.[9]
