Groux was appointed by President Evo Morales as the Vice Minister for Development of Cultures, which was then within the Ministry of Education and Cultures. He was elevated to the head of the newly created Ministry of Cultures in February 2009 and has twice served as its leader, the first time for 11 months ending in January 2010, and the second time from January 2012 to 20 February 2015.[2]
Groux was the coordinator of the World Peoples' Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba in 2010.[1] He served as Bolivia's Ambassador to UNESCO from 5 July 2010, until his re-appointment as Minister of Cultures in 2012.[1]
President Morales publicly criticized Groux for errors in his administration in February 2015, shortly before replacing him with Marko Machicao.[2] In stepping down, Groux tweeted, "I feel grateful and honored to have supported Evo, sincerely congratulate Marko Machicao, and will continue to work for Bolivia forever."[3]
