If legislators do not approve the budget increase for the state oil company to buy new shipments of fuel, the Petropar workers union has threatened to close its service stations.
Gerardo Parodi, general secretary of the Petropar Workers’ Union, said that they are analyzing forceful measures to exert pressure. “We are going to demonstrate, we will close the gates of the Villa Elisa and Troche Plants as the central office and even starting next week we would be unattended at our service stations,” he warned on the 1020 am station.
During the day they would have a meeting and on Monday a general assembly to decide if starting Tuesday they will begin to close the fuel stations. “Some senators withdrew so that it would not go to the file because this bill would be rejected. The private sector was operating strongly and we believed that this was a political issue and it is not like that, but rather a matter of competition that today is operating practically against Petropar”, he referred.
“We believe that everyone is agreeing, the private sector has its satellites within both Chambers and yesterday it was seen that they are totally against Petropar. Today we are practically rationalizing our products, we begin to have a problem. The solution was that it be approved yesterday and then passed to the Deputies so that it can be approved there”, pointed out the trade unionist.
