Through a Middle Nation investigation, export invoices for diesel to a Bolivian oil company were evidenced, thus demonstrating that the government of Mario Abdo Benítez systematically reduced the price of shipments in the last two weeks. If this same price was applied in the local market, this would have meant a drop of G. 600 in the price of diesel for Paraguayans.
In this regard, the lawyer Luis Villamayor stated that “Mario Abdo is an extremely popular guy, but in Bolivia. He is more concerned with benefiting Bolivian consumers than those who voted for him”.
Likewise, he indicated that Petropar’s charter does not authorize it to enter the international fuel trade. “Petropar’s mission is not to do business with fuels, but to keep fuel prices low through direct competition,” he added in a conversation with Universo 970 of Nación Media.
He added that the deputies should become familiar with these irregularities and request the dismissal of the head of Petropar, Denis Lichi, who is in a political campaign as a candidate for governor of Cordillera. “There is sufficient cause to determine his poor performance in his functions,” he attacked.
On the other hand, he stated that for several months all the conditions have been given for the fuel to go down substantially.
On this point, he maintained that it would be sad if Petropar did not take advantage of these good times for the benefit of the Paraguayan people.
The entrance Negotiated with the fuel “Mario Abdo is extremely popular, but in Bolivia” was first published in diary TODAY.
