in various faucets In Lima and regions of the country, long lines of vehicles are reported due to the shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that has led to an increase in its price. On a tour, La República was able to verify the delay and discomfort of drivers at gas stations such as Repsol, Primax, Energigas, Petro America in Cercado de Lima, as well as in Chaskigas in Arequipa, where there is an irregular supply of LPG. According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, this situation is due to abnormal waves on the Peruvian coast since May 13, which has forced the closure of seaports. This measure prevents the usual discharge of this hydrocarbon. In the early hours, the general director of Minem Hydrocarbons, Luis García Cornejo, assured that there is no shortage of LPG and that in the course of days “everything should return to normal.”
