José Amaury Fuertes

José Amaury Fuertes is the president of the Asociación de Suplidores de Materiales Eléctricos (Asume), an organization representing suppliers in the electrical materials sector. He has been vocal about the financial struggles faced by his members due to significant delays in payments from the Empresas Distribuidoras de Electricidad (Edenorte, Edesur, and Edeeste), some exceeding six to seven months. Fuertes emphasizes the urgent need for these obligations to be met to ensure the stability of suppliers, prevent job losses, and maintain the supply chain critical for the national electric system.
