Trade unionists debate whether to dialogue with the Government and three ministers seek to defuse the conflict with other sectors

Francisco Figueroa, the secretary of the Confederation of Trade Union Workers of the country, installed the debate on participation in the dialogue table that convened the Government for this Saturday in Cochabamba.

The leader stated that the basis of the debate is “the decision made” to demand the repeal of Law 1386 that launched the Strategy to combat the legitimization of illicit profits.

Meanwhile, the Government reached an agreement with representatives of the international transport cooperatives to “Socialize” the scope of Law 1386 and open a dialogue to regulate this norm that gave life to the Strategy to combat the legitimization of illicit profits.

The five-point understanding was signed by representatives of the carriers from the nine departments and It was signed by the Ministers of Public Works, Édgar Montaño; of Defense, Edmundo Novillo; and of Economy, Marcelo Montenegro.

When asked about the possibility of amend or repeal Law 1386, Minister Montaño invoked: “We ask that we enter a dialogue table, that they listen to us and that we clarify these issues because there are many lies.”

After the agreement, the minister assured that he will seek the leaders of all social organizations, including those that mobilized with a caravan of trucks this Friday in Cochabamba.

But in La Paz, the urban transport leaders who had agreed to participate in the “socialization” of the law ended up rejecting this norm at the end of a meeting with Minister Montaño.

“This rule goes against the transport sector and we are going to see what actions we are going to take”said Edsón Valdez, executive of the Departmental Federation of May First Drivers of La Paz, who regretted that at Thursday’s meeting they were only attended “by a lawyer without decision-making power.” “We want to modify articles 2 and 7 of that law,” he said.

He announced that on Monday they will lead a “peaceful march” that goes hand in hand with a period of 48 hours for the law to be annulled. The decision was taken after an extension.

With a view to defusing the protests and multisectoral strike, the three ministers who met with the carriers They plan to meet this Saturday in Cochabamba with the unions, the largest sector among those mobilized.
