After an increase in the Electricity Authority (AEE) bill was announced, economist Gustavo Vélez invited traders to protest against himself.
Using his Twitter account, Vélez questioned the public corporation about preferential treatment to government agencies that have not paid the bill but their system is not disrupted.
“Energy disobedience, especially traders stop paying for electricity for three months. What did the EEA do, cut it to all companies ?. They should treat us the same as the Capitol and the rest of the agencies that they don’t pay and they don’t cut it, ”he commented on his social network.

On this idea, the organization Casa Poble, which has been recognized for encouraging the use of renewable energy, reacted by commenting on the same social network inviting the economist to “free” himself from the EEA. “Or decide to invest in energy self-sufficiency and permanently free yourself from a model of exploitation,” they wrote.
