Alicante Provincial Transport Federation (Fetrama) The loss caused to the state sector by the blockade of French roads is estimated at around five million euros. It therefore celebrates the agreement reached between the French Government and the main agricultural unions in this country to end the conflict. Employers hope that circulation will return to normal as soon as possible, but “we recognize that this will still take time because Blockades are being gradually lifted”, advanced Fetrama’s secretary general, Antonio Gabaldón.
“It is quite likely that hauliers will continue to face disruptions at some points on French roads throughout the day, so We ask our drivers to exercise maximum caution when traveling on these roads.. We believe that the situation will soon improve so that our truck drivers can provide their services without risk and regain lost activities,” Gabaldón explained.
According to Fetrama, it is estimated that the French blockade resulted in economic losses of close to five million euros to Alicante shipping companies. In this sense, Gabaldón regrets “the serious economic problems that the conflict creates for our shippers at a time when the industry is recording good data.”
Regarding the possible mobilization of Spanish farmers, Fetrama said that the central government will fulfill their demands and There is no recurrence of any blockages on Spanish roads, just like in France in the last few days. “We believe that the negotiations between the Government of Spain and the farmers will reach a successful conclusion, because if the roads are closed in our country, the transportation sector will be affected again and we will have to endure new losses,” Gabaldón said. outside. .
