“Because EPS is under special control, it has financial problems, Every month our resources are decreasing further, with a large debt with the network, we are talking about 23 billion pesos in debt with the public network, without counting the debts of the private company. Thus, we are making a call and an alert to the Supervisory Authority because we do not want the same thing to happen to us that happened with Medimás, ”explained the union leader.
