Carriers from different areas of the country warned that they will continue to be unemployed, given the lack of responses and solutions from the Government to address the shortage of gasoil which is held in 21 of the 24 jurisdictions of the national territory.
With the passing of days, the shortage of gas has become critical, which added to the price difference of the gasoil between the Federal Capital and the rest of the country, has made the situation unsustainable for truckers.
Thus, The transport sector warned that not only will it continue with its forceful measure, but they will also cut more routes in a surprising way; They even talk about carrying out a massive mobilization in the City of Buenos Aires, rejecting the lack of gaosil.
The protest is organized by United Transporters of Argentina (TUDA), United Self-Convened, the Single Union of Port Administration Workers (Sutap) and the National Union of Transporters and Allied Workers of the Argentine Republic (Untra).
In this regard, Carlos Geneiro, general secretary of Untra, said in dialogue with Infobae “we are in dialogue with all our bases, and we define that we are going for more cuts, many of them surprising, throughout the country, since the Government does not there is an answer to our claim”.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Transport, Alexis Guerrera, will meet next Wednesday with the leaders of the sector to discuss the reference rates for cargo transport, which has also been one of the carriers’ claims.
Likewise, the minister maintained that between 15 and 20 days the problem with the shortage of the gas would be solvedsince ships will arrive in the country with gasoil imported, which would help solve the problem.
The field and industry ask for an urgent solution from the Government
As a result of the truckers’ strike, in recent days, the number of trucks carrying grain to the ports has decreased by up to 90%, which is why both the agricultural and industrial sectors are warning of the serious consequences that the force measure could leave.
For this reason, they also demand from the Government an immediate solution to the problem of shortages, which has already been going on for three months, and which, according to Nicolás Pino, president of the Argentine Rural Society, is a situation that could have been foreseen.
