Panama truckers blocked highways on Saturday, February 16  preventing  truck drivers from Honduras and Nicaragua from leaving the country with cargos of local products.

The tTruckers of the Unitary Transport Association b of Panama are reacting to steps taken by the  by the Government of Honduras.  The carriers said that for several days Honduran authorities stopped Panama truckers from taking cargos  from the country,  even  forcing them  to return to the premises where they were loaded  and passing the cargos to Honduran trucks,

They have demanded the presence of high officials of the National Customs Authority, otherwise, they will adopt more forceful measures not ruling out the closure of the border between Panama and Costa Rica.
