As part of “Open Mic,” citizens expressed widespread anger over the high cost of private generator subscriptions, which continue to place a heavy burden on households during regional tensions and economic crises.
In first-hand accounts, several citizens described their frustration as monthly generator bills reached hundreds of dollars.
One testimony reported a bill of as much as $410.
For many households, these costs have become increasingly difficult to afford, leaving people struggling to cover even their most basic needs.
Retirees also questioned whether the state is truly unable to provide reliable electricity after decades of shortages.
Some citizens also criticized what they described as the lack of effective public pressure on the authorities.
They called for stronger action to push the state to provide electricity, healthcare and other basic rights and services.
