Santiago Puy, son of the head of Housing, Land and Habitat from Rioja, is seen riding an elephant through Thailand. It occurs just 12 days after the Legislature of La Rioja approved by a large majority the issuance of a quasi-currency, which will be used to pay the salaries of public employees.
The idea arose after the crisis with the provincial security forces and after a "salary recomposition" agreement with the local Police, which sent a project to the provincial Legislature.
