“The resources do not belong to the people?”, he questioned himself, “that is not what the socialist state company says. Until when will the people continue to pay for your comforts? You have read in the dictionary what the word minister means, it means a public official who serves others, ”she said, visibly distressed.
“In July of last year I paid 6,000 pesos for electricity. In my house they cut off the electricity every Wednesday, my daughters, who are of school age, stop going to school because I have nothing to cook with, because the gas company does not give me the service, neither manufactured gas nor liquefied gas,” he said.
“I am not blaming the people below, the people of the Cerro municipality, I am blaming those who lead here,” he added, “because you, Minister of Energy and Mines, who have your pockets full with the salary of the people It is in your hands to solve this problem”.
