The informal miners argue that the measure is to pressure the Congress of the Republic approve the mining formalization process in a second vote. It turned out that the measure will be extended until December 19.
At this time, a large number of stranded vehicles can already be seen in both directions, especially heavy-duty trucks and interprovincial passenger transport buses.
