Joining the views that point to alleged “internal sabotage” within state entities in charge of the hydrocarbons sector, the national assemblyman for La Paz, Alejandro Reyes, called on authorities in the area to carry out an internal audit to establish responsibilities and to remove all officials linked to the governments of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS).

“We’ve heard out there that internal sabotage could exist, and it surely does, because MAS officials have not been removed from the ANH,” Reyes said at a press conference, assuring that this and other agencies are currently not fully complying with their role of verifying and certifying transportation, storage and, above all, the blending process between gasoline and alcohol for sale on the domestic market.

In the legislator’s view, it is necessary for the Ministry of Hydrocarbons to take the steps required to establish responsibility for the recent circulation of low-quality gasoline, identify those responsible in order to sanction them and, above all, begin a renewal of the personnel who have remained in these agencies since the MAS administration.

“An internal audit has to be promoted in the ANH and the removal of all officials who have been linked to gasoline control during the government of Luis Arce must be pursued, starting with one of the heads, Mrs. Margot Ayala,” he said.

Reyes also announced the presentation of a bill to repeal Supreme Decree 5134, which provides for the “blending of gasoline with alcohol up to 25%,” because studies reveal that the blend can only be applied up to a maximum of 12%.

“That decree must be removed from the country’s legal framework to provide security to the Bolivian people,” he concluded.
