The protest of the truck drivers against expensive fuel has begun. The hauliers, with their means, find themselves in front of ports and industrial areas, they started at dawn and will go on indefinitely until, they have announced, solutions will not arrive from Cagliari or Rome.
Along the Statale 131 they proceed at a walking pace.
Again for reasons related to the price of diesel, the trawlers of the Porto Torres navy are also in turmoil: they will remain stationary, anchored to the quay of the Segni pier.
The truck drivers are in Cagliari at the historic port (goods entrance) and in the industrial port of Macchiareddu. But there are also garrisons in front of the industrial areas of Samatzai, Monastir, Villacidro and the port of Oristano. And then in Olbia, Isola Bianca, in Nuoro in Pratosardo and in the industrial area of Tossilo-Macomer.
The answers, warn drivers and truckers, "must be done, not words: excise duty cuts and lower diesel prices taking into account the average of the last three or four years".
In the Sardinian capital there are twenty trucks stopped at the industrial port and 40 at the entrance to the historic port. “So - explains Annamaria Schirru, one of the referents of the spontaneous movement born in the wake of the fuel increases of the last few weeks - we cannot work and go on. We ask for immediate answers from the government ". A delegation of workers has been called to the Prefecture perhaps to try to find a solution." We are sorry for the inconvenience - continues Schirru - but it is a protest that can be useful not only for our category, but also for families. "The first vehicles, about ten, arrived at the entrance of Cagliari from 6am. Then reinforcements arrived from all over the Cagliaritano area. Similar protests in other areas of Sardinia from ports to industrial areas.
