La Ramada Market Merchants Demand Electricity Payment from Santa Cruz Municipality

Santa Cruz, Bolivia – Merchants at the New La Ramada Market are facing significant losses due to a prolonged lack of electricity, prompting them to demand immediate action from the municipal government. Traders assert that the city council is responsible for the outstanding electricity payments, which has left the market without power and perishable goods at risk of spoiling. "We want light, we want light!" chanted dozens of frustrated vendors, expressing their urgent need for a resolution. The absence of electricity is not only disrupting daily operations but also causing an estimated loss of over 30,000 Bolivianos in some cases, as products cannot be properly preserved. Market representatives stated that the lack of power directly impacts their livelihoods and the quality of goods offered to consumers. They emphasized the critical need for a stable electricity supply to prevent further financial setbacks. If the Municipality fails to address their concerns, the merchants have indicated their intent to escalate their protest, including demonstrating outside the Mayor's residence. This move underscores the growing desperation among vendors who rely on consistent power for their businesses.
