Strike Self-employed truckers and SMEs face the bosses and stop indefinitely
Pact The uncertain pacification of transport after the agreement of the Government and the employers
The Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda,
Raquel Sánchez, has appealed for "calm and serenity"
in the face of the indefinite strike initiated this Monday by freight carriers, which for now is not having "much incidence", and has assured that
the supply of supplies "is guaranteed", although he has admitted that the strike "is going to have an impact".
In the same sense, the Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas, has stated, who has stressed that
in Spain we have a high level of food autonomy, so the food supply is "absolutely guaranteed".
"We are not at a time when more uncertainties have to be introduced for citizens,"
Minister Sánchez has reproached the carriers for their warnings about a possible lack of supply due to the strikes initiated to protest the rise in fuel and their working conditions.

little incident so far
The head of Transport has assured that the strike is not having "too much incidence" so far, although she has remarked that her
department is carrying out "exhaustive" monitoring, coordinated with the Ministry of the Interior.
"The situation is under control", emphasized the head of Transport.
So far, there is evidence of the actions of pickets that have caused
retentions on the N-VI as it passes through Lugo.
Also in the
Free Zone of Barcelona and the Port of Tarragona.
The minister has assured that the Executive is in
"permanent contact" with the Department of Goods of the National Committee for Road Transport (CNTC),
which is the interlocutor that the Government and the Ministry have to deal with all issues related to the sector and with who is going to meet the minister "in the next few days".
However, precisely the CNTC has been against this strike, which has been called by the
Platform for the Defense of the Transport Sector
, an organization without representation in the CNTC that brings together private truck drivers and SMEs.
Sánchez has valued the royal decree law recently approved by the Council of Ministers and which now has to be validated in the Cortes, in which measures aimed at the sector were reflected with the aim of facing "difficult" circumstances, to which now added the impact of the crisis in Ukraine.
In this sense, the head of Transport has assured that
the Executive and her department are already working to alleviate a situation that already affects the transport sector very especially,
as well as others related to production.
