Last Wednesday, Viedma drivers were surprised by the second increase in fuel prices since Javier Milei’s government took office. In the previous adjustment the increase had been between 35% and 45% and now it exceeded 27%.
In the capital of the province, the situation is calm, although at the YPF service station on 25 de Mayo A notable increase in activity was reported the day before the adjustment, since it was the last station to apply the increase.
Once the prices were updated, the situation normalized. But some drivers expressed their discontent.
How the increase in gasoline impacts the people of Viedma: testimonies
According to Bruno, a beachgoer at the station, “regarding the issue of price, Everything is increasing, so it goes hand in hand. Some people come with anger, but the majority accepted it.
Other testimonies collected reflect conflicting opinions on the situation.
One of the interviewees expressed that «with this government, I think it was coming. Obviously I didn’t vote for it, but it was obvious, the increase translates into the pocket, and I think there is no limit in these things.
Another citizen pointed out the relationship between supply and demand: “this government is subject to supply and demand, As long as we continue buying, it will continue to riseAt some point it will have to go down, I don’t know if it is gasoline, but the rest of the products for sure.
A critical opinion came from another interviewee: «it is very expensive because this is a country that has oil, distilleries, it should not be so expensive. We cannot compare it with the service stations in Paraguay or Uruguay, “They are not oil producers, which is why it seems excessively expensive to me.”
Andrés, alluding to the previous government, commented «We are colliding with a reality that the previous government tried to disguise, setting maximum fuel prices and generating a price distortion in the economy. “Fuel is a commodity and is governed by international prices, which today are $1 per liter.”
Roxana expressed her general discontent “it is an uncontrolled thing, I do not agree with any measure of this government. With the increase in gasoline comes the increase in everything else, “One works more and the money becomes less and less.”
