He added that Supreme Decree 010-2022-MTS was published a month ago, “where companies that have built and invested in terminals that are authorized by MTS are given a preliminary period of 4 years in case they are in a lawsuit. with the municipality, because we know the interests that are managed in some municipalities.”

Suspicion of the informal sector

Something we won’t allow,” Ojeda said in La Rotativa del Aire Night Edition.

“Yesterday, Sunday, and the application was submitted to the sector police department. minter, with their specialized units, to establish what happened here. Because a few years ago, in the same area, in an informal terminal, an extremely rare bus caught fire in less than five minutes, which is almost impossible for many specialists, and 17 people died,” he added.
