The irresponsibility of Colón strike leader

The Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture of Colón warned that the general strike that keeps that province partially paralyzed, for the last three weeks, has left an affectation of $180 million. For a province that has the problems that we all know, these losses can only aggravate the already desperate situation that this area of ​​the country has suffered for decades. For this reason, what the leader who went to the Presidency and who is one of the leaders of the call for the strike did last Thursday was irresponsible, since after several hours of dialogue –without noticing it and in the presence of the president of the Republic – declined to sign an agreement that had been previously discussed, a document in which some of the demands of the strikers were collected. It was childish behaviour. if you consider the magnitude of what is at stake in Colón. The leadership must understand that, as much as it wants, the situation in Colón cannot be solved from one day to the next, nor can it maintain such a prolonged strike without expecting consequences of all kinds for the province and even for the country. What is required is serenity to reach a negotiated solution. – LA PRENSA, May 28.
