On the other hand, he publicly asked the governor of radical origin to make the decision to accompany “the effort” of the national State by promoting a reduction in the cost of energy of between 40% and 50% for producers.
The announcements come after the Andean provinces were affected by late frosts, which destroyed much of the production of grapes, cherries, pears, apples, pumpkins and walnut trees.
