“In addition to that, the current economy uses cell phones. I, for example, do not know how to carry out an operation in Nequi, because I got used to taking the money out of the ATM and even there. Since I became president, I can no longer stop at no ATM. They tell me to do the transactions through Nequi. I don’t, but you have to do it”, revealed the president.
After the meeting, the president announced that the shopkeepers will be the government delegates in the Chambers of Commerce and added that they are an economic potential that must be unleashed.

“The history of the popular economy shows that this power must be used to survive,” added.
For Petro, the main issue to achieve this goal is to ensure that all people in the popular economy can increase the use of cell phones; The state, for its part, must “put the net” to facilitate these operations.
