“The minister was never in a meeting with us. What we said now is that we reject what the advisers did, because we do not consider it fair, they are crumbs that they offer us to truckers. He has done little for the truckers. “
This is how he reacted this afternoon José Villagrán, president of the Federation of Truck Owners of the South (Fedesur) -in dialogue with Third– to the words of the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, during this day. The Secretary of State described as a “mistake” that the transport union rejected the latest offer made by the government to end the strike that has already lasted for 5 days.
“Let him not say now that the culprits are the truckers, if the culprit is the government. He is Minister of the Interior and Public Security. And what public safety are you talking about?”Villagrán assured this medium.
The leader also referred to the latest sayings of different government officials and the President himself, Sebastián Piñera, about not allowing the supply to be cut off and violating the law or the rule of law.
“The President threatens us and we are not the criminals”, maintained the leader of the Fedesur. And he added that “we have not done anything wrong. No light bulbs have broken here ”. To affirm, consulted by the sporadic roadblocks that have been seen, that “nothing has been cut here”
Asked about the steps to follow in case the Minister of the Interior does not meet with them, as they demanded today, Villagrán affirmed that “we work every day on the road. What have we done today? We have parked on the berm. We have our cabins that are our houses, there we eat and sleep. And we can spend a month here. But in a month, what is going to happen to the minister? He’s going to have to start moving merchandise, because there aren’t going to be trucks to work for him. Then will the truckers be blamed when there is no bread? The Interior Minister will be the culprit if there is no bread and fuel. Because he must give us solutions. It should be with us to reach an agreement. If I were Minister of the Interior I would have already called the leaders to come to my office and solve the problem ”.

“We truckers live on the road, today we are only parked. We know we are losing money, but our drivers are more important. We need a guarantee so that they will not be shot or killed “he added.
To further ensure that “We are hurt and sorry with the government. We hoped that this government would do better and that the parliamentarians would have another reaction ”.
In addition, the leader questioned the position that various parliamentarians have adopted by not advancing in the 13 laws on security that the unions have asked to be approved.
Villagrán also had questions about him National Auditor, Jorge Abbott, who last week announced the opening of 8 criminal investigations in various regions of the country as a result of the mobilization of truckers.
“Mr. Abbott threatens us and it turns out that he has 1,600 causes that have not found out anything, which are causes of all those who have burned foresters and truck drivers. And all these causes are filed ”, concluded the leader.
