Presidential Candidate Rodrigo Paz: "Capital is the People's Necessity for Business"

Santa Cruz, Bolivia – Rodrigo Paz, a presidential candidate representing the PDC, recently articulated his economic vision during an appearance on eju.tv's 'La Hora Pico'. Paz underscored the fundamental role of capital in societal progress, stating, "The capital is the necessity of the people, they want money to do business." He elaborated on this perspective, asserting that individuals require financial resources to establish ventures, invest, and achieve economic advancement. Paz further criticized the current state's approach to formal businesses, claiming that the 15% of the economy operating formally feels "asphyxiated" by state regulations. Conversely, he noted that the 85% of the economy functioning informally actively seeks to avoid state involvement. This highlights a perceived disconnect between government policies and the economic aspirations of the populace. Paz concluded by emphasizing that the solution lies in empowering individuals and their capital, rather than solely focusing on state investment.
