The president of the National Federation of Transport the New Option (Fenatrano), Juan Hubieres, has said that beginning today, Tuesday, 7 May, 2018, there will begin a series of peaceful protests in order to urge the authorities to reduce the price of fuel and to respect the rights of the drivers to operate freely.
He said that with the increases in the price of fuel it was almost impossible to continue operations and that they had given the government a study showing that there needed to be an increase in the fares.
Hubieres said that the protests would be peaceful and would not affect the transport routes.
The price of fuel has steadily risen over the past year.
