Given the shortage, Cainco demands to free the import and marketing of fuel

Given the concern “about the lack of concrete and viable actions” due to the fuel shortage, the president of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Cainco) of Santa Cruz, Jean Pierre Antelo, assured that It is necessary to free the import and marketing of fuel for productive use and for access by the general population.

“The immediate solution must be the unrestricted liberalization of the import and sale of fuel in the country. It is clear that, in recent months, “The State has not had the capacity to provide certainty on the issue of fuel.”Antelo indicated in a press conference.

The head of Cainco also stated that the shortage is not only a consequence of the blockades, “but also of a series of long-standing bad decisions and the current political struggle that has worsened the situation.” He added that, if urgent measures are not taken, a food crisis could be faced.

“We listened to President (Luis) Arce, who announced that the recovery after the blockades will be slow and called for a dialogue to address the fuel issue. However, We have been warning for months that the country has collapsed. Today, talking about the situation without concrete actions is a waste of time; The people who are lining up to get gasoline and diesel do not need more explanations, but rather real solutions,” Antelo added.

Cainco’s position responds to the need to ensure sustainable solutions that allow companies and citizens to continue their activities, and prevent the country from plunging into a deeper economic and social crisis.
