At stake here is survival, not change of government. (vocesLatinoamericanas)

VocesLatinoamericanas.com interviewed Eugenio Diaz-Bonilla, Head of the Latin America and Caribbean Program on the Spanish-language podcast heard on Soundcloud. Diaz-Bonilla discussed the local currency market and dollar market, food and drug network supply chains, and what needs to be done to successfully emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. He says, “Here survival is at stake, not the change of a government, etc. Good sense of political parties is required to face the pandemic. We have to think of an institutional framework that allows us to continue working together as humanity instead of assuming that if each one is individually arranged, the whole works well, we all know that this is not the case.”
