The candidate for the presidency of the Free Alliance, Jorge Tuto Quiroga, questioned his adversary of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), Rodrigo Paz, because he says he does not know the real figure of Bolivia’s external debt.
“The alarming is what I have heard yesterday (…), the truth could not believe. I saw the candidate Paz say (…) that he was going to talk to some gringos to renegotiate the external debt and said that the external debt was 40 billion dollars, it cannot be, ”Quiroga said on a visit to El Alto.
He added that Bolivia’s external debt, to July 2025, is actually 13,770 million dollars and “zero” with the United States.
What really said peace?
In last days, during a visit to the population of Warisata of the Department of La Paz, the candidate for the presidency of the PDC said that “we have left us a debt of 40 billion dollars” and that the next week will travel “so that they do not charge us the debt and have hydrocarbons” in Bolivia.
“The following week, where do they think I’m going? Where had they taken the debt? With the gringos. Both speech against the gringos and we owe 40 billion dollars now And I president, if I go out with your will, I have to go to negotiate with the gringos, ”said Paz.
The PDC candidate, who will face Quiroga in the second electoral round of October 19, did not specify the day of his trip or where he would travel, but said he will go to the “north”.
“I will have to go there to the north, which ‘the north, the north’ have said so much ‘, I will have to go to the north, because they have left us that debt of 40,000 million dollars and we are going to talk to those of the north telling them: look, with our dignity, already, I understand the debt, because I am not a coward,” he said.
“Nononadado” tuto
“I don’t know what he talked to Tilín or Tilín gave him bad figures or did not understand. Where did he get 40 billion, did he play it with the internal debt? I have heard that and I have been stunnedhow can a candidate to say that external debt is 40 billion with the gringos, it is zero with the United States, ”insisted the candidate of the Free Alliance.
Quiroga remarked that “it really is an ignorance that should worry” and even considered that in the PDC “they have no idea” how they will face the country’s economic crisis situation.
