Last Friday, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Alex Contreras, announced that the government will give a temporary bonus called Vale Pollo or Proteico amounting to 25 soles. The amount will be delivered for four months to the beneficiaries of the Social Energy Inclusion Fund (FISE), who already receive 25 soles for the purchase of a gas cylinder. This new voucher of S/ 25 will be added to this amount and must be used for the purchase of food.
According to the register of the FISE program managed by the South West Electric Society (Seal), in Arequipa there are 76,090 beneficiaries. However, 15,110 are listed as active, 33,120 as excluded and 27,860 as suspended.
The specialist in hydrocarbon issues, Antonio Gamero, maintained that it is important to determine where these new resources come from. “They cannot reduce the fund that must be used for gas installations
And it is that one of the purposes of this fund is the massification of natural gas for homes, vehicles, systems or means of distribution or transportation, as well as access to domestic gas cylinders in vulnerable urban and rural sectors.
Its resources come from the production and import of fuels. Camisea gas and large electricity consumers.
Gamero points out that the voucher is positive, but points out that it is not appropriate to withdraw resources from the fund, since these must be destined for the construction works of the home gas distribution networks. “The support is necessary, but that they get it from other sources. That they no longer give so much extra credit to Congress,” he objected.
Gamero refers to the budget of 48 million soles that the Executive approved the Congress of the Republic last March.
As announced by the head of the economy, the delivery of the voucher would be fast, since the group of beneficiaries is already focused. Currently, 940,000 families receive the FISE Discount Voucher.
Figure could increase
The number of beneficiaries could increase in all regions, since according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, currently, 940,000 families receive the FISE Discount Voucher, but this number will increase to 1.2 million beneficiaries.
This in order to help families who have problems to cover the basic basket.
