Andrónico Rodríguez criticizes Bolivian President over economic crisis
Andrónico Rodríguez has issued sharp criticisms against the government of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira, demanding a radical shift toward economic reconstruction. Rodríguez argued that the Bolivian people require tangible solutions rather than political ideologies or speeches delivered at international forums.
Addressing recent remarks made by the President at the UN General Assembly regarding market deregulation, Rodríguez contended that a deregulated market has failed to alleviate the rising costs of basic goods. He accused the administration of using the guise of pragmatism to mask cuts in health, education, and security, suggesting that current economic policies favor the elite while abandoning working families. Rodríguez further called for the President and Vice President to act as statesmen to address corruption, abuse of power, and the deepening national crisis.
