The Spanish Federation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Distributors (Fedglp) continues this Friday with the butane distribution strike in protest of the inaction of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge regarding their demands by not convening a dialogue table.
According to this association, the Government should guarantee that its transporters receive from the operators a remuneration of at least 4.8 euros per cylinder, compared to the current 25 cents, as reported by Servimedia.
The organizers denounce that butane distributors have been in a critical situation for years, as a result of the fact that the system for updating the remuneration they receive for each cylinder has not been updated for more than a decade.
Coinciding with the first day of suspension of home service, on November 5, Ecological Transition published the draft of the ministerial order that regulates the price of butane. However, the Fedglp considers that it is very far from the minimum necessary remuneration that they should receive to cover the costs of home delivery.
Therefore, It also maintains the calendar of delivery suspensions on December 5, 11, 17 and 23. In addition, there were strikes on November 5, 13 and 21.
However, the home delivery service for cylinders will not be suspended in the province of Valencia and other areas affected by the recent DANA, where many households depend on this supply for their daily well-being.
Six million homes
This strike arises from the inaction of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the conditions imposed by the oil companies that force butane distributors to work at a loss.
The strikes affect the distribution of more than 150,000 butane cylinders supplied daily throughout Spain to more than 6 million homes.
The organizers explained that during the suspension period the distribution agencies do not make home deliveries to individuals or companies, although they continue to guarantee supply to points of sale.
Furthermore, they assured that The suspension does not affect users in situations of social vulnerability, educational, health, social care centers, nursing homes, or non-profit institutions.
