Truckers protest on A1 against fuel price hikes

A slow march on the A1, organized by entrepreneurs and truck drivers from the earthmoving sector, caused significant traffic delays. The protesters are demanding "concrete responses" regarding the rising fuel prices, which have been affecting the industry.

The march, which began in Paredes, led to congestion on several highways. According to reports, hundreds of trucks were involved in the action, with industry leaders admitting to a national strike if their demands are not met.

The protest took place on a Friday, with organizers highlighting that the current situation is unsustainable for many professionals in the field. Business owners are calling for concrete measures from the government to address the issue of rising operational costs.

The event is expected to conclude around 1 PM, according to gathered information. During the march, protesters maintained a clear focus on their demands and the urgent need for support for the sector.

Highways were severely affected, with many drivers reporting long wait times. Organizers emphasized that the journey is not just a demonstration, but a call for concrete action from the relevant authorities.

Following the event, the sector is awaiting a response from the government. The movement expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue, especially after the government's openness to discussing measures that could help mitigate the effects of rising fuel prices.
