President Luis Arce summoned the mayors of the capital cities to a meeting for this Tuesday in order to discuss Law 1407, an appointment in which the mayor of La Paz, Iván Arias, will raise a trust to attend to debts inherited from the past management.
The appointment is set for Tuesday, November 30 at 3:00 p.m., the municipal authority reported.
“We have raised an agenda that is an analysis of Law 1407 and the approach of seeing how the municipalities achieve access to more resources, we all lack resources, and see how we can coordinate in a complementary way between the national government and the municipalities to make investments that benefit the population, ”Arias said at a public event in the Hampaturi macro-district, where he delivered a paving stone.
On Thursday 25, the Minister of the Presidency, María Nela Prada, sent a reply letter to the president of the Association of Bolivian Municipalities (AMB), Jhonny Torres, in which she set the time for the appointment.
