Doria Medina affirms that the crisis becomes complicated and that “it happens when it is not comprehensively attacked.”

The businessman and politician Samuel Doria Medina considered this Monday that the economic crisis in the country is getting complicated.

“The crisis continues to complicate. Today the butchers’ strike against the rise in prices begins. This is what happens when a crisis is not comprehensively attacked.“You put your finger in a hole and water comes out from another part, and so on,” he wrote in his X account.

He added that real solutions go through politics and that a new government must apply a set of coordinated measures each other to return to stability.

Bolivia is going through a period of dollar shortage, rising prices of food and other items, as well as constant concern about the irregular distribution of fuel, which generates constant lines at the pumps.

The National Confederation of Meat Workers of Bolivia (Contracabol) declared itself in indefinite unemployment, with market closures, starting this Monday, in protest of meat smuggling and the alleged failure to comply with agreements to stabilize the prices of said product.

But “a day of market closure not only affects the income of the unions, but also directly harms consumers, violating their right to adequate food,” questioned Jorge Silva, vice minister of Defense of User and Consumer Rights.
