Deputies of the PRI, PRD and even PAN have criticized the recent increase in the cost of Magna gas (from $7.77 pesos to $7.80 pesos per liter) and warned that they will demand an explanation from the Treasury Secretariat because the Federal Government had agreed not to increase the cost of fuel this year.

José Antonio Arámbula of the PAN expressed his surprise at the increase in less than a week but said that he trusts the price will not go up again in 2010.

“It took us off-guard. I hope this adjustments were made now instead of next year, because we knew that the gas price would gradually increase but we thought it would not happen until next year,” he declared.

“I think we need to get to the bottom of this, we will ask why it was done twice in one week; we need Treasury to explain what was the point of these increase,” he added.

Sebastían Lerdo de Tejada of the PRI also said that the Treasury had acted behind their backs and that is why it has to give an explanation.

The PRD Deputy Vidal Llerenas agreed with both Deputies. “There was an agreement of Treasury Secretariat to not increase the gas prices this year. The prices did increase and there is no explanation for that.”

They also acknowledged that prices of basic products will increase and the New Year will begin with inflation.

The increase has almost eliminated the minimum wage increase for 2010.
