This Monday (30), the fuel crisis took on even greater proportions. After all, gas stations in Buenos Aires register long queues of vehicles looking for fuel. The country, which is known for its significant shale oil and gas production, however, faces a shortage of gasoline and diesel due to internal challenges in the refining process, particularly with delays caused by a lack of dollars.
The situation in Buenos Aires is a reflection of the seriousness of the fuel crisis in Argentina, which is also generating concerns for both citizens and the government. Authorities are looking for solutions to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. They want to ensure that the population has adequate access to essential fuels. This is crucial for everyday life and the country's economy.
According to Bloomberg, Sergio Massa, Economy Minister and presidential candidate, declared that he will ban oil exports in Argentina. This will occur if producers do not increase fuel supplies to resolve shortages. On Sunday, the 29th, Massa made the statement to reporters in the province of Tucumán that, if the fuel supply is not resolved by midnight on Tuesday, companies will not be able to send export ships. Argentines' oil belongs first to Argentines.
