Bolivian Pre-Candidate Demands Urgent Action from President Amidst Economic Crisis

Bolivia's Economic Crisis: Del Castillo Calls for Urgent Presidential Action Bolivia is facing a significant economic crisis, marked by dollar and fuel shortages. Pre-candidate Eduardo Del Castillo has publicly called on President Luis Arce to take immediate action, directly criticizing the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) for its alleged role in hindering the arrival of much-needed resources. "This crisis, we will overcome," Del Castillo stated confidently in a recent interview. He detailed the suffering of Bolivian families due to the scarcity of dollars and fuel and the rising cost of living. Del Castillo believes the current president has the power to act decisively. Del Castillo proposed three immediate actions: issuing collateralized bonds, the early allocation of assets, and utilizing legal powers to manage the country's reserves. He believes these measures could inject billions of dollars into the economy. He stressed that this is not about finding blame but about finding solutions. The situation underscores the urgency of the economic challenges facing Bolivia and the political pressure on President Arce to address them swiftly.
