The historic rise in fuel prices that will take effect from this Thursday, March 26, has sparked all kinds of comments and analyses, one of which came from ruling party senator Iván Moreira, who did not hesitate to blame the crisis on the previous government of Gabriel Boric. “They left a government without resources and without money, which deepens the oil crisis. The new government is facing an unleashed opposition, finding problems everywhere,” the senator stated in an interview with Canal 24 Horas, in a recording he published on his X account (formerly Twitter).
“I believe it is a strategy... ” However, Moreira's analysis of the fuel crisis went further, claiming that there is a “strategy” from the current opposition regarding resources. “I believe it is a strategy to try to deny or hide the poor governance that occurred over these four years.
Specifically, also regarding state resources, a state that has no money,” he said. In that same vein, he added that “there are no resources to take measures that could benefit much more than what the government will limit in the Mepco and in this project to stabilize the price of kerosene. ” After presenting this theory, Moreira's followers, who a few months ago considered him a “comrade” for supporting some measures of the Boric administration, now criticized him harshly.
“Unleashed opposition? … but the opposition is lost… disappeared… they have been silent for a while… they have no connection with the people… they have no presence”; “The signals must also come from Congress. A reduction in allowances for our politicians would be very positive.
Apparently, we will have to scrape the bottom of the barrel in this scenario! ”; and “Mr. Moreira has returned to his natural state; I had even started to like him… mmm, not anymore,” were some of the comments accumulated on the post.
