The governor of Táchira Laidy Gómez, received on Monday in his office representatives of public transport in the municipalities Bolívar, Pedro María Ureña and Junín, who notified him of the problems that the sector has with respect to the suspension of the supply of fuel from the past eighteenth of February, while gasoline passes to the neighboring country.

"In the border municipalities there is a deficiency of public transport, because they are not being supplied with fuel; and the transporters assure that gasoline is shipped to official vehicles and security organizations, but on the north side of Santander it is still full of pimpinas, "he said.

The first authority of the state condemned - once again - the use of the trails to humiliate the sick and the students, who had to submit to the passage through these places, while in parallel and for the same-illegality is still maintained and escapes the fuel that lenient and rob the carriers of the border, "he said.

Gomez condemned the fact that Norte de Santander is full of Venezuelan fuel, and indicated that this is the evidence of the mismanagement that exists in the border security lines where not only the population is humiliated and conditioned to pass through trails, but that is subjected to punishment to the population.

He said that in the absence of coherent and sensible public policies the people continue to suffer, "it is simply a whim because these gentlemen who are in Miraflores know and understand that the border is determined and defined to defend the democratic spaces and the welfare of the people, and That violation of rights - is the invoice pass to border municipalities.

The Governor stressed that according to the manifestos by the transporters, the same officials stationed at the service stations have told them that for three months they will not supply fuel as a punishment measure for the disturbances of public order that occurred last 23rd of February in the border municipalities. .

"This situation not only affects public transport but also the citizens, mothers, fathers, students and workers, who must leave every day to fulfill their obligations"

Refuse fuel to transporters from border municipalities

Affected by the lack of public transport are the inhabitants of the municipalities that make up the border of Táchira, because since a month ago the lines that provide the service are not supplied with fuel.

The complaint was made by the president of the Transportation Union of the Frontier who said that "they are being denied fuel as a punishment measure, for, supposedly, supporting the events that took place on the border on January 23."

Situation that is affecting, continued Moreno, a town that needs to move to the doctor, work to school and a large number of drivers that make up more than 60 lines of transport that provide a service to the border town of Tachira.

He made a call to the national Executive to all the competent military entities of the fuel in Táchira to resolve to resolve this situation that affects a working and humble people that has nothing to do with the events that occurred on January 23.

He reiterated that a large number of people are affected by "a measure that keeps a population, marginalized, humiliated and with a closed border. We hope positive response, because otherwise street actions will be agreed."

For his part, Angel Vera, president of the El Triunfo ring road of the Bolívar municipality, stressed that the lack of fuel, adds that many transport units have problems with the chip.

"To some colleagues the reader does not read the chip and in my case it was stolen, after three months of negotiations, the one assigned to me was school transport and I could not have it in five months, since it presents difficulties" .

He added that he has made requests to PDVSA without having timely answers.
