The large freight transport groups in the region estimate the drop in their activity at around 40% as a result of the pressure being exerted by the pickets in the strike. This is how several companies consulted recognize LA TRUTH.
They describe what is happening as a “disaster”, since the existing blockade prevents them from attending to all the services of their clients. And it is that to the impossibility of leaving its own facilities at specific times, there is the delay due to incidents in traffic on the country’s highways -not in Murcian territory, where for the moment there was only one cut on the A-30 in the early hours of Monday – and the fear of many of its drivers who refuse to travel due to insecurity due to certain violent acts and coercion, especially in Andalusian territory.
In fact, some complaints have been filed for specific events, such as the one suffered by a Murcian truck driver who was on his way to Madrid, at whom a stone was thrown in the Albacete town of Tobarra. However, the behavior of the pickets in the region, in general, has been characterized by informative work, with the exception of the latest incident that occurred yesterday in Cartagena.
There is agreement in the business sector that it is urgent to adopt measures such as those promoted by France in order to compensate for the damage suffered by transport as a whole. This is the very request made by the Froet employers’ association to carry out in Spain what the Government of the neighboring country has done, by introducing a reduction of 15 cents per liter in fuel, from April 1 and for four months . A mechanism to mitigate the rise in fuel prices in an effective way.
