The president of the Tijuana Gas Station Owners Association (APEGT), Alejandro Borja Robles, commented that the fuel that is arriving in Tijuana is brought from the Ensenada and Mexicali plants, so it is foreseeable that these delays in supply will occur.
“There should be no fear, we call on don’t panic buy we are not going to run out of gas, In some cases, the programming will change and be delayed for some time, but it will not be a situation like the one we saw more than five years ago, when it was the blockade that negatively impacted the city,” he expressed.
Alejandro Borja called on the authorities to expedite negotiations with the three levels of government, in order to avoid further harm to consumers.
“We understand and are sensitive to their claims, but we do not agree with the way in which they come to harm all citizens both economically and in all possible ways,” he expressed.
He added that the stations in the border town They have reservations on average for two or three days, however, as the days go by, blocking the fuel is running out.
This blockage is the second in two months, which worries gas stations due to the possibility of a prolonged shortage, which is why some have begun to transfer gasoline from Mexicali and Ensenada to avoid shortages at their gas stations, although this could cause delays in service.
The leader of the APEGT He specified that the stations have reserves on average of two to three days, however, this volume is gradually depleted as the days of the blockade progress.
“Yes, there is supply, of course not the normal one, but there should be no fear. The supply is guaranteed to emergency units,” he stated.
For his part, Juan de Dios Escalante, spokesman for the neighbors of Maclovio Rojaspointed out that the blockade of the Pemex plant will continue until the settlers have a favorable response.
He added that they have already had a talk with the state and federal government, however the Ejido Francisco Villa has not yet agreed to dialogue, so they will wait until their representatives sit at the negotiating tables and thus analyze the withdrawal of the blockade.
“Yesterday (Monday) they listened to us, representatives of the state and federal government came, but a main actor is missing, which is the Ejido Francisco Villa. They agreed to talk to them so that they would come and continue with the dialogue, but until that working table is made, we are not going to leave the sit-in here,” he expressed.
