• Consumption From the fish market to the factory: vans to overcome the blockade and guarantee the food supply

  • Strike Large food companies give the Government an ultimatum and warn that they will have to stop

The Government has held meetings with the main companies and associations in the oil sector to "exchange positions" on what

measures can be adopted in the short term

to contain energy prices, which are suffocating different sectors, before the meeting of the Council of Europe in which how to deal with the rise in energy prices due to the war in Ukraine will be addressed.

The announcement of a

government aid package

for the road freight transport sector to alleviate the rise in fuel prices,

far from bringing positions closer,

has added more carriers to indefinite unemployment when until now they had remained on the sidelines like the Fenadismer employers' association that brings together more than 32,000 companies.

The stoppage of merchandise transport, which is now in its tenth day, already threatens supply and there are industries that are warning of the closure of their activity, such as the dairy industry, both in the agri-food and automobile industries.

The platform calling for the strike asks to meet with the Government when it does not recognize it as a representative of the transport sector and negotiates with other employers.

Robles: "The Army, as of today, will not be in charge of guaranteeing supplies"

The Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, has assured that the Army, as of today, will not be in charge of guaranteeing the supply of products due to the strike carried out by the carriers because "the State security forces and bodies are providing protection adequate, both the police and the Civil Guard."

This was stated tonight in the Cuatro program "Everything is true", where he stated that it is necessary to "try to reach agreements and try to find a point of balance among all", to solve the conflict.

"The Army is doing a magnificent job in many other areas, but I think that as of today, obviously if the circumstances changed, but it is not the case, as of today that -the intervention of the Army- is not necessary".

The important thing for Robles, he said, is that carriers "be aware that with what they are doing, what they are doing is that many Spaniards are short of supplies, companies and others."
