After an increase in the bill for the Electricity Authority (PREPA) was announced, economist Gustavo Vélez invited traders to protest against it.
Using his Twitter account, Vélez asked the public corporation about the preferential treatment of government agencies that did not pay the bill, but the system is not interrupted.
“Energy disobedience, all traders stop paying electricity for three months. What will PREPA do to eliminate all companies? They have to treat us like the Capitol and the rest of the agencies that do not pay or reduce it, “he commented on his social network.
Disobedient to energy, all traders stop paying for electricity for three months. What will be @AEEONLINE did you cut it at all companies? They must treat us the same as the chapter and the rest of the agencies that do not pay or reduce it.

The Casa Pueblo organization, which was recognized for promoting the use of renewable energy, reacted to this idea by commenting on the same social network, inviting the economist to “get rid” of PREPA. “Or you decide to invest in energy self-sufficiency and permanently get rid of an operating model,” they wrote.
