The Government and the truckers reached an agreement to end the strike that began on August 27, contemplating proposals in economic, legislative, safety and protection matters for transporters. The mobilization lasted seven days and this week white smoke came out, however, for Senator Carlos Montes (PS), all this was “strange.”
In an interview with El Mercurio, the parliamentarian and favorite as a possible presidential letter of the Socialist Party, explained that “more than a union movement, it seemed a political movement linked to the Government.” According to Senator Montes, this because the set of demands of the truckers were precisely the projects that the Executive presented in Parliament.
“All that was strange,” Montes said in the morning, noting that the strike “lasted longer than it should have.” “We had supply problems, ships stopped in the port, products in the Santiago market that could not circulate through the country. In other words, this hurts, especially at a time of pandemic,” said the PS senator regarding mobilization.
“Obviously, nobody wants that violence that has occurred in certain areas of the country; however, this was a movement that was quite difficult to understand in its content. And the government was weak and Víctor Pérez was not up to the challenge that was posed.” , he sentenced.
Asked if the State Security Law should have been applied. Carlos Montes questioned the Executive and wondered that when fuel began to run out in Osorno and Valdivia “what does any government do?” In Senator Montes’s opinion, “the government will have to explain much more clearly, because it did not do what another government could have done.”
Carlos Montes says that this is not the time to think about a constitutional accusation against the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, “it is clear that we are facing another challenge, which is the plebiscite, the pandemic, the effective social protection of many families,” he said. . “But,” he added, “sometimes things can also be well articulated.”
“The risk that we ran with this stoppage of truckers and that some cities suffered is something that needs to be reflected a lot, it is not to arrive and turn the page,” he concluded.
