The three drivers' associations still on strike say they do not want to cause more damage to the industry.

The three transport associations which have been behind the lorry drivers strike in Spain which severely disrupted petrol and food supplies last week across the country, Fenadismer, Confedetrans and Antic have announced today that they are temporarily suspending their strike action which started a week ago.

The three groups say in a joint statement that their demands, including a minimum tariff for work, remain in place, but they say they are suspending the strike as they do ‘not want to cause more damage to the already suffering economy of the industry’.

They repeat a previous claim that the government has acted irresponsibly in the case, by pretending to end the dispute early when it reached agreement with the other driver associations.

The three groups say they are willing to look for solutions to end the crisis, but also are willing to hold more demonstrations and other acts in the future.
