The meeting was to be held at 5 pm in the Freight Transportation area of the national portfolio, in downtown Buenos Aires, after a traffic cut was carried out this morning on the Buenos Aires-La Plata highway (a nerve center for the access to the metropolitan area from the south), which began around 6 o’clock at the Dock Sud toll gate to Capital Federal.
The protest was carried out by truck owners who complain about the lack of diesel in different areas of the country and the overpricing that is recorded in the price of fuel.
In dialogue with Télam, the representative of the National Union of Carriers and Allied Workers (Untra), Ariel Santa Coloma, indicated in relation to the suspension of the meeting it was because “We decided not to establish conversation with any other intermediary other than the minister (Alexis Guerrero)” and confirmed that “on the routes the cuts will continue throughout the country.”
For his part, from the Entrerriana Transport Federation, Sebastián Gothe, assured Télam that “the situation is complex and not having the meeting that the minister promised us complicates the situation.”
However, Gothe said they are “open to dialogue” to agree “with the necessary actors” a short and medium term solution in the issue of Gasoil.
This Wednesday morning, the Minister of Transportation of the Province, Jorge D’Onofrioassured that both the supply of diesel and the issue of “surcharges, which arise whenever there is a shortage”, are “in the process of being solved”.
He also said that the protest carried out by carriers on the Buenos Aires-La Plata highway, which kept traffic totally interrupted for more than two hours on the road that goes to the city of Buenos Aires, in the middle of rush hour, “absolutely surprised” because from the Government of the province of Buenos Aires and the Nation they have been “working with the transport chambers” to find a solution.
Let’s see the scenario that was recorded in the interior of the country:
*In Tucuman, The carriers carried out the second day of the strike that started at 0 o’clock on Tuesday, and that has caused the interruption of the sugar harvest.
“Despite the measures taken by the industry to face the harvest with the due provision in terms of energy supply and supplies, Tucumán had to interrupt its harvest due to the strike of carriers that affects the province,” said a statement issued yesterday by the Center Argentine sugar.
The entity pointed out that stopping the activity of the sugar mills “means a significant disorder, especially in terms of economic damage, which implies the rupture of the chain harvesting, transporting and grinding cane, and the fall in jobs and services included in it. ”.
The president of the Industrial Union of Tucumán (UIT) Jorge Rocchia Ferro criminally denounced that the police made arrests and injured workers of the La Florida sugar mill during the freight transport stoppage. In this context, the workers of the La Florida sugar mill “went to ask the people who were striking at the roundabout to let them work, so there were some discussions and skirmishes, but the passage was achieved” and from one moment to the next. another “the police arrived and repressed the employees” of the sugar mills, the businessman said.
* Land of Fire, one of the few districts that kept the “green” light on supply, was also in danger of shortages. The president of the provincial Chamber of Transport, Darío Loreto, told Radio Nacional Ushuaia: “We are beginning to feel the shortage, we knew we were not going to be able to escape.” “It is easier to have the vehicles stopped instead of having them on the roads. We have been standing for more than 8 hours waiting for the tanker truck and all that is money”, reported the local media Sur54. The discretionary price in some service stations is also one of the reasons for concern.
* Likewise, in addition to the multi-causal strike analyzed by carriers, in fact the reduction of frequencies of urban groups in the main cities of the country has already begun.
* In San Juan, the measure is under study. so stated Ricardo Salva, Vice President of the Transport Association (ATAP). “In the north of the country there is no fuel this had not arrived in San Juan but yesterday we started talking about who can sell us and is complicated day by day. We are getting fuel day by day, I cannot say if there will be tomorrow, ”he said, according to Tiempo de San Juan. And he added that there are companies that cannot meet the tours of the dispatches in increasingly smaller quantities.
* In Catamarcathe chambers of the carriers raised that request to the administration of Raúl Jalil in order to guarantee the service in the peak hours.
The province’s Secretary of Transportation, Andrea Álvarez, said: “There are provinces that directly suspended the service, but we are thinking of reducing the frequency at times when we notice fewer passengers,” according to La Unión.
The situation is replicated especially in the northern provinces, where the red light for diesel supply first came on.
* In Buenos Airesunder warning of the Minister of Security, Serge Bernie, the carriers finally freed the Buenos Aires-La Plata highway.
“Make an assembly, you have five minutes to decide; if not, I hijack all the trucks”, launched the provincial official.
