Speaking Wednesday at the monthly luncheon of the American Chamber of Commerce, National Business Council president Lisandro Macarrulla stated that there can be no solution to the crisis in the electrical sector as long as the government remains directly linked to the business. He wants the government distributers transferred to the private sector and demanded a stop to the practice of guaranteeing energy purchase contracts to particular businesses that is later resold at a loss. He would like to see loyal competition, transparency in the sector and rigorous compliance to commitments.

He also alleged that the government cannot discern between political and partisan issues and what is necessary and basic for the nation and should not be delayed any further.
