YPFB indicates that President Arce's son worked until September 2021 and denies salary of Bs 50 thousand

 The Executive President of YPFB, Armin Dorgathen, asserted this Wednesday that Luis Marcelo Arce Mosqueira, son of President Luis Arce Catacora, worked at the state company until September of last year and denied that the young man had a salary of 50,000 Bolivians.

“It is false that the president's son Luis Arce has at some point earned 50,000 bolivianos within YPFB or some subsidiary of YPFB. The President's son is a young professional who has never held managerial positions. He was always in technical positions and worked until September 2021, when he voluntarily resigned from his job at YPFB Corporación”, Dorgathen indicated.

The executive added that Arce Mosqueira "is an industrial engineer with a Master's degree in Hydrocarbon Processes and has more than 10 years of experience in the hydrocarbons industry and area."

The statements were made after versions emerged that Arce Mosqueira held management positions with a salary of 50,000 Bolivians.

In January, the complaint emerged that Luis Arce's son worked at YPFB with a salary of 35,000 bolivianos. In this regard, the deputy for the Alliance We Believe, Erwin Bazán, denounced that it was a crime of nepotism.
