The Government does not put the brakes on its

criticism against the carriers' strike.

On the contrary.

Hours pass and in the middle of the social conflict he increases his verbal threats against the pickets.

This Friday, the Minister of Transport, Raquel Sánchez, was taken over by both the Minister of Finance and Public Administration, María Jesús Montero, and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Luis Planas, who assured in Cáceres that

"under the violence and coercion" dialogue is not possible

.

In this line, he has come to describe as "illegal and immoral" the way in which the pickets are acting in the framework of the freight transport strike.

Planas explained that "when we talk about small farmers who cannot deliver their milk because there are pickets that prevent them, we are talking about an

illegal and immoral action

, just as it is illegal and immoral to block ports in our country to prevent the distribution of fish" , has underlined.

In this sense, the Minister of Agriculture stressed that "under violence and coercion" dialogue is not possible and has called for the responsibility of those who "

boycott and carry out violent actions

and disrupt the distribution" of merchandise and of the agri-food sector.

For the minister, it is a "group of people" who "are boycotting and carrying out violent actions", in addition to "disturbing" the distribution in Spain of many goods, basically from the agri-food sector.

In his opinion, "those who carry out these acts of boycott are not integrated into the organizations of the national road transport committee" and he has even asserted that this sector itself "does not recognize them as its own, which aggravates the conflict."

As a summary,

Planas wanted to send citizens "a message of security and tranquility"

and recalled that since the Government has mobilized 23,600 members of the State Security Forces and Bodies: "We will have to use all the forcefulness that is necessary to guarantee the provision of food and basic services".

Thus, he stressed that, expressing that "the provision of food and basic services is not a trivial issue; it is a constitutional issue in relation to free movement, and in this country we can all express our points of view and our demands in a peaceful way , but we cannot use actions and violence against anyone, because it is society as a whole that loses".

Finally, regarding

conversations between the Government and the organizers of the protests, he recalled that it is the responsibility of the National Committee for Road Transport

, a body, he assured, where "very substantive negotiations" were carried out last December, where, in his opinion, a series of agreements were made that were validated in the form of a Decree Law for the benefit of the carriers.

The Government delegate in Extremadura, Yolanda García Seco, confirmed today that there have been

"several" detainees for violent actions

during these days of road transport strike, and "some of them" have been brought to justice and others He has taken their statements and they have been released.

García Seco has pointed out that there have been "incidents" throughout Extremadura but of "small groups" that are acting in a "coordinated manner" spreading throughout the territory, and "harming ranches, farms and carriers who want to exercise its activity, to the industries it wants to open, and they are doing damage in a specific way and throughout the territory".

In addition, he criticized the organizers of this strike that "prevents medicine from reaching the sick" or food from reaching the farms where cattle can die, and that "it is getting farmers and ranchers after months of work and effort can't get their products to market and can't sell them".
