Bolivia's Fuel Crisis: YPFB President Addresses Supply Shortages

Bolivia's Fuel Supply: Addressing Shortages and Long Queues Long lines at gas stations across Bolivia have become a common sight recently, causing concern and frustration among citizens. In response to these concerns, the President of YPFB (Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos), Armin Dorgathen, recently gave an interview to Red Uno. Dorgathen stated that despite the queues, YPFB is currently dispatching fuel to meet 100% of the demand along the country's major routes. He emphasized, however, that completely eliminating the lines won't happen overnight, due to logistical challenges and the time needed to fully restore supply chains. "We have fulfilled what we promised," Dorgathen explained, "We have dispatched 100% of the fuel to the central axis of the country today." He acknowledged the ongoing issue of long lines and explained that their gradual reduction requires time and sustained effort. The video accompanying this report shows extensive footage of vehicles waiting in line at various gas stations across the country. While Dorgathen's statement offers reassurance, it also highlights the ongoing challenges facing Bolivian citizens and the need for continued improvements in fuel distribution to alleviate the pressure on consumers.
