Felix Cruzgeneral manager of YPFB Logística, reported that due to the blockade, since early Wednesday morning, at the Palmasola refinery It allowed itself to be supplied with gasoline and diesel from the capital of Santa Cruz.
“Because of a driver who did not comply with safety regulations This pressure measure is being taken. It is already noon and so far We should have already distributed about three million liters of gasoline and diesel and that is why lines are already beginning to appear,” Cruz explained.
He stressed that There are about 70 million liters of diesel and gasoline in YPFB warehousesbut that these types of protests do nothing but cause harm to the population.
Cruz explained that the reason for the protest was due to the suspension of a driver who “did not comply with the safety regulations that are in force” and which aim to control alcohol consumption and not use cell phones inside the refinery.”
“From January alone to date, 117 drivers have been suspended for drunk driving “There are already 49 of us for cell phone use. They are asking us to be more flexible with our security measures, and we are not going to accept that,” Cruz said.
About the case of Juan Yujarleader of heavy transport from Santa Cruz, arrested by the Felcc, Cruz said that this is in the hands of justice, but stressed that those that affect the normal development of public service “and the distribution of gasoline and diesel must be sanctioned.”
Heavy transport, already in emergency due to diesel shortage, announced that due to the seizure of Yujra, Starting this Wednesday, the roads will be blocked if the leader is not released in the next few hours.
Jose Montanoa leader of heavy transport in Cochabamba, indicated that they do not accept the Felcc measure and that the reaction is due to the fact that “Yujra denounces the lack of diesel in the country.”
“Pointing out the lies of YPFB and the ANH is now a crime. In Cochabamba, people continue to queue for four or five days,” said Montaño.
