This Friday a new meeting was held between the trucker leaders and Petropar and Treasury authorities. The position of the steering wheel workers sector is that discounts be applied from G. 700 in order to reach an agreement.
Juan Villalba, president of the Central Obrera y Transporte del Paraguay, indicated in a press conference that the meeting held this Friday was to make clear the sector’s position of not accepting the discount of G. 400 per liter of fuel and negotiating from of G. 700 discount.
Villalba also indicated that next Tuesday a work table will be set up again between the sectors involved, under the promise of the president of Petropar, Denis Lichi, to include all the operators of the state entity.
Likewise, he maintained that the discount for which they are fighting will benefit truckers in general, freight transport drivers, deliveries and platforms.
For his part, Denis Lichi, president of Petropar, pointed out that there is a hopeful outlook given the decline in international prices recorded in recent days. However, he maintained that by the end of August there would only be a change in prices to the public, either for the rise or fall.
Regarding the negotiation with the truckers, he explained that the discounts would be given through the card offered by Petropar, with the amount according to the amount received.
