Government authorities and the transport sector will sit down again this Wednesday, despite the fact that they have not reached an agreement on the measures regarding the increase in gasoline.
Transport organizations maintain the proposal to freeze the price of fuel at B/.2.40 for diesel and B/.3.00 for gasoline, or to revise the ticket price.
The transport leaders threaten to stop the service or raise the price of the ticket if they do not reach an agreement with the Land Transit and Transportation Authority (ATTT).
The director of the Land Transit and Transportation Authority (ATTT), Carlos Ordóñez, stated that the sector did not accept the proposal that the Government presented last week.
“The proposal established an economic aid of six million dollars to be distributed in the selective and collective sector,” said Ordóñez.
For his part, Néstor Cubillas, president of the Interior Transportation Council (Cotradin), said that “this latest proposal presented by the Government does not meet the expectations of the transportation sector because we would only be talking about 78 or 80 balboas for a single serving of fuel , something that does not fix the problem that we have at the moment”.
The Ombudsman’s Office mediates in this dialogue table and requested that consensus be reached so as not to affect the users of collective and selective transport.
