Asunción, Agencia IP.- The Vice President of the Republic, Pedro Alliana, announced this Thursday that Argentina will disburse $12 million of the $93 million accumulated as a debt for the energy transfer of the Binational Entity Yacyretá. The Vice President asked for respect to Paraguay and demanded a fair price.

“We will have good news this afternoon. Of the $93 million, they will pay $12 million and continue paying monthly until that debt is paid off. “Separately, it would be the $18 million that we want to be paid for the energy,” Alliana explained this Thursday after participating in the opening of the Paraguay-Brazil Expo.

The Vice President pointed out that the intention of the Executive Branch was never to harm Argentina. “The only thing we have been asking is respect for Paraguay, for a fair price to be paid for the energy that we are selling to them today”, he mentioned.

In that sense, he affirmed that it “Is a lie that Paraguay is selling the energy too pricey to Argentina”, claiming that the other supplier of Argentina is selling the energy six times more expensive than Paraguay.
