This Wednesday, in the ordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies, the bill that seeks the immediate reduction of the electricity rate of the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) could be discussed.
Carlos Rejala, promoter of the initiative, argues that Itaipu’s production cost fell by 20% and that should be reflected in the bill of all Paraguayans, starting this month.
“It cannot be that Brazil has already lowered its price and our government continues to want to reach into people’s pockets. The reduction of electricity must be for all Paraguayans and the sale of our surplus at market price. Enough of surrender, bosses, bribes and corruption, ”she urged.
The initiative comes after Jair Bolsonaro, president of Brazil, announced at the beginning of April that the electricity bill will be reduced by 20% in the neighboring country. This occurs around the negotiations that both countries maintain regarding the rate that will govern this year.
