From the municipality they explained that only one division, in addition to the basic services personnel, is working.

“We have found people working, people who have arrived as best they could, they have not been told anything, many of them even without wanting to come here because they want to support the strike measure, but for fear of losing their job they have to get there as best they can, ”said the councilor in a video that he posted on his social networks.

“Unfortunately once again the mayor (Jhonny Fernández) shows us that he kicks the other wayis not on the side of a legitimate claim of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the entire country, which is to have a timely census in 2023”, he continued.
