The pandemic has impacted the country in many ways. According to a survey commissioned by La Prensa, 63% of those interviewed have seen their income decrease, 38% have lost their job or been temporarily terminated from work, while 22% report that they are working from home. The first two indicators would be at the root of another of the situations thrown by this research: almost 35% of those surveyed say they have not been able to pay for basic services, such as electricity and water; 25% confess not having paid for their house; another 21% report being delinquent on bank loans or financial commitments, and 19% report that they were unable to pay their taxes. These responses reveal a delicate and unsustainable situation. Overcoming it will depend, to a great extent, on the effort of the people and this, in turn, is largely conditioned by the management of the Government. What we have seen so far of the latter has been little – LA PRENSA, May 20.
