The traffic chaos caused on Tuesday 20 May by drivers belonging to the Fenatrano transport union led to an ugly incident yesterday, Thursday 22 May between the Union head, Deputy Juan Hubieres and journalists who were interviewing him about the incident.
When he was asked for his version of events, Hubieres appeared very upset and called the journalist several names, accusing them of being “journalists who took bribes to write stories, checkbook journalists and anarchists”.
One journalist asked him to prove he was bribed to write stories and asked his fellow press members to hold off with their microphones and tape recorders.
Hubieres continued to use colorful language whilst assuring that he did not support the strike.
He went to say that the drivers had not broken any law and that the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) was the culprit for the traffic problems.
