Analysts maintain

Two analysts referred to the fuel shortage, the lack of foreign currency and the situation of justice, and agreed to point out that Bolivia is experiencing misgovernance in political matters and suffers the economic consequences of the economic waste consummated by the government of Evo Morales. and the former Minister of Economy, Luis Arce, for not having prioritized the exploration of new gas reserves.

Yesterday Luis Alberto Ruiz and Enrique Velazco shared the “Let’s Make Democracy” panel of the Erbol network. On the issue of the subsidy, they recommended that the Government stop calculating the political cost of a possible fuel adjustment and accept the reality because the country no longer has the capacity to continue financing the expensive import of diesel and gasoline.

Velazco recalled that in 2005 Bolivia had 17 to 20 TCF of gas and today it barely reaches 4 TCF. According to expert estimates, 1 TCF is enough for one year of domestic consumption. International reserves in 2005 were 1.5 billion dollars and today the country has less than that amount of reserves.

He maintained that the Government should bring this fuel situation to debate and that politicians present solutions instead of looking at who the next candidates will be in 2025.

For his part, lawyer Luis Alberto Ruiz said that Bolivia currently no longer has gas because during the entire Evo Morales government no new prospecting was carried out, therefore, the country is paying for the political errors of the MAS.

He recalled that the governments of Paz Estenssoro, Paz Zamora, Banzer, Jorge Quiroga and Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada for years continued a policy of exploration, exploitation and construction of gas pipelines so that Evo Morales only comes to open a gas valve and receive a “load of dollars” that were wasted in the same dimension.

He maintains that Morales implemented an economy of perks and waste, which he now has to confront President Arce.
In relation to the judicial elections, he indicated that the Constitutional Court has become a “supra State and a republic that dictates norms as constitutionality,” loading the country with the burden of having a justice that requires a true transformation and not a simple election of magistrates.
