The National Confederation of Truck Owners of Chile (CNDC) called on the government. They ask to increase measures in the Araucanía Region to arrest those responsible for the arson attacks. Attacks that, as detailed, have suffered the truckers and their families. They highlight the recent case of a 9-year-old girl who was shot at dawn on Saturday.
As reported by Radio Biobío, the CNDC issued a statement in which they indicated that “the main condition of the union is that the perpetrators of the attacks be arrested and prosecuted as soon as possible.” “The authority knows perfectly which are the radicalized groups and the elements that perpetrate these attacks, so it is not possible to understand why there are still no guilty prisoners,” they added.
Mobilizations could be this week
Earlier this afternoon, the Southern Truckers Federation announced mobilizations. By means of a vote it was defined to demonstrate, although it is still unknown if it will be through strike or another mechanism. The mobilization would take place within the week.
This, because according to accusations from the government “they have done nothing to end the insecurity that exists in the south of Chile.” The president of the organization, Juan Villagrán pointed out that “when families are dissatisfied with the governments, every day they touch saucepans. We truckers do not have saucepans, but we do have trucks and horns. So we are going to find a formula for the government to feel the discontent. ” Apparently from the National Confederation of Cargo Transport of ChileThey could also join the mobilization.
Right now, they are holding a press briefing.
