• Transport conflict The two faces of transport: the employer warns that "merchandise is beginning to be lacking" and the protesters say they are "ruined"

  • Aid Car sellers complain to the Government of excluding them from PERTE VEC

Anger grows among the carriers for the "ignorance that the Government is doing to us."

In fact, yesterday the full Executive, faithful to its unique message, blamed the violent incidents on the far-right's warnings and support for the strikers in order to erode them.

Even the Minister of Finance,

María Jesús Montero

, said that

“those who are preventing the products from reaching” their destination “are playing the game of Putin”

, who seeks “instability in all European countries”;

she clarifying before that "this government never refuses to sit down with anyone, but it cannot be held hostage to blackmail."

Idea also expressed by the Minister of the Presidency,

Félix Bolaños

.

Faced with these statements, the callers of the strike insist that "we are not moved by political motivation but rather we are in ruins."

"The Government has not even deigned to call us, they do not want to delve into the serious problems that we have been suffering for a long time,"

explains Manuel Hernández, president of the National Platform in Defense of Transport.

The Executive hides behind the violent acts being carried out by the pickets that prevent those who want to exercise their right to work.

At noon yesterday, the National Police and the Civil Guard confirmed six detainees, 34 investigated/reported and 595 identified.

One of the ministers most criticized for "her snubs", according to Hernández, is that of Transport.

Yesterday, at the laying of the first stone of the Swich Mobility electric vehicle factory in Valladolid, she was received by 100 carriers shouting "we are not terrorists, we are carriers".

Raquel Sánchez said that “the situation is complicated.

There is a part of the extreme right that is encouraging these mobilizations.

Nadia Calviño

, First Vice President and Minister of Economy, insisted that

"it is not a strike, it is a boycott"

and assured that the supply is guaranteed except for "specific situations".

Reyes Maroto

, Minister of Industry, spoke along the same lines and

urged carriers to cease "this boycott that harms the weakest

in the food chain."

President's Empathy

The President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, expressed at the end of his meeting with the Italian President, Mario Draghi, his

"total empathy with the carriers"

although he called

"the responsibility of this minority that is acting violently in some situations" .

The partners of the Government of

United We Can

, also indicated yesterday that the extreme right is behind this strike.

Isabel Serra, her spokesperson, said in Valencia that

"it is clear that Vox and the far-right groups are trying to take advantage of this situation

. "

Although both she and Pablo Echenique acknowledged that carriers "have a complicated situation."

From the

opposition

,

Cuca Gamarra, spokesperson in the PP Congress,

urged the Government to stop accusing others of the problem and ordered him to

"get out of political inaction" , a line in which

Edmundo Vals, from Ciudadanos,

also expressed himself

.

For its part,

the employers of the CETM carriers, given

the persistence of the conflict this weekend, called for the cessation of the violent acts of the pickets and announced that they

will go to court to denounce the vandalism suffered by the vehicles of their associates.
