The dissuasive effect of the agents makes the Cartagena energy pole gradually recover normality, despite the presence of the strikers
The trucks have begun to enter the Valle de Escombreras. A device of at least thirty agents of the Civil Guard is facilitating the passage of heavy vehicles to the companies of the energy pole and the port, to recharge gas, fuel and cereals from early this Thursday morning. Despite some cuts, such as the one that occurred around ten in the morning when a dozen truck heads stopped at the roundabout where the pickets are in protest, the rest of the day is passing with hardly any incidents.
During the fourth day of the truckers’ strike, the number of pickets at the entrance to the Valle de Escombreras is barely thirty. The number is much lower than this Wednesday, when there were more than 70 at noon. Unlike on Wednesday, this Thursday the protesters do not inform the truckers of their demands, “due to the impediment of the Civil Guard,” denounced a spokesman for the group of strikers, who preferred to remain anonymous.
The Benemérita agents created a corridor at the roundabout to give way to all the trucks that arrive at that point: the Alumbres roundabout, which gives access to Escombreras and the Exolum company, the former CLH. This is the company that distributes fuel to service stations in the Region of Murcia and part of Alicante and Albacete. The trucks arrive alone and in convoys escorted by the Civil Guard, like the one that arrived at 12 noon from the Los Camachos industrial estate in Cartagena, where it was formed.
In addition, a dozen truck heads traveled through various streets of the city of Cartagena around half past nine, sounding their horns, to make their demands known to the citizens. They are the same ones that at ten o’clock cut off the roundabout at the entrance to Escombreras for five minutes.
