El ministro Erwin Barrios defiende el subsidio y asegura que frenó la inflación en Guatemala

Guatemalan Minister Erwin Barrios has defended a government fuel subsidy, asserting that the measure successfully curbed inflation within the country amidst global price pressures stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the Guatemalan Congress omitted the discussion of a new fuel subsidy from its August 4 agenda due to a lack of political consensus, highlighting ongoing legislative challenges as the executive branch attempts to address rising international fuel costs.
