At kilometer 7 of the trace, Within the framework of the national strike that carriers set up to claim for the lack of diesel, truckers demanded the comparison of prices with respect to the City of Buenos Aires.
The day of protest reached its peak of tension after 8 in the morning, when the Minister of Security of the province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Berni arrived by helicopter and intimidated the protesters by shouting: “They have five minutes to make a decision, if they don’t I’ll arrest them all and seize the trucks. I’ll finish them out tomorrow at 5 in the morning, I don’t care”.
Annoyed by a new traffic cut, the government official of Axel Kicillof came face to face with one of the protesters and demanded the immediate removal of the vehicles to free circulation on the highway: “A protest is not resolved with a crime. If they are so hard-working, and I respect their right to work like that of all the Argentines who are passing through that lane and who an hour ago were in a queue”, he justified his position.
