Several events that have been viralized on social networks and that have been the source of criticism of the mobilization of truckers in the country.
Situations that have been generated in view and patience of the police authority and that occur in the midst of a pandemic in the country, where there are health measures to comply with, where roads have been cut, and citizens have come out to question.
The national president of the truckers, Sergio perez, condemns the facts, assures that they gave an instruction to all those represented, which contemplates sanitary and behavioral measures, and on the impassiveness of the police in all situations, he emphasizes that “this must be asked of the police authority.”
The facts

However, the most questioned and shameful situation was a “reel” on top of the trailer of one of the trucks stationed on Route 5 Sur near El Pueblecillo, in the El Maule region.
There, while they were drinking, a group of drivers danced on the back of the truck, to the rhythm of a sticky cumbia: “Crazy about you, crazy, crazy …”.
Everything, in full state of exception and without protection measures in pandemic.
And, without the Carabineros intervening.
Finally, during the morning of this Friday, another threat to Carabineros was generated on a highway near Puerto Montt, which was also allowed to pass by the police authority.
Impunity?
To the above, there is a barbecue that a group of drivers carried out on Thursday afternoon on the Concepción-Talcahuano Highway, which was denounced on Facebook by the PS community in the Chorera commune.
National leadership response
Faced with all these situations, the national trucker leader responded, Sergio Pérez.
Front of “Pandemic party” He indicated that “we made a precise instruction that we have to respect democracy, the law. We are in a state of constitutional and sanitary exception, we have to take care of ourselves. I do not approve and sadly one cannot control everyone and that responsibility of the colleague who is in charge I will call him ”.
About him “Roadside roast”, the same national helmsman pointed out that “maybe the place is very close to the road, as a responsible leader he could have moved away to keep a distance, but our drivers have the right to eat.”
Pérez called the unusual events as “nonconformities”.
“Those non-conformities have not attacked anyone, they have not shot or set up barricades, they have not burned anyone. But I still criticize them and call on truck drivers and owners to maintain compliance with the rules. If this has happened, I apologize ”, he stressed.
Finally, before threats to Carabineros on the roads from the south of Chile, Pérez assured that he would contact leaders of the area so that it does not happen again.
Regarding the lack of action that the Carabineros has shown in the face of each of the events, Pérez said that “That question should be asked of the police authorities. Those responsible for making accountable for breaches of the law are the Judiciary, the prosecutors have to investigate. We are not going to get involved in that ”.
Meanwhile, President Piñera assured that they would not allow the roadblock.
