The Minister of Industry and Commerce has issued a warning to the nation's gasoline station owners: anyone who suspends fuel sales can have their license revoked. This was the message that Melanio Paredes sent to the National Association of Gasoline Retailers (Anadegas) yesterday, according to El Nuevo Diario. Paredes made the point after receiving the news that said that the gasoline stations would not purchase any more fuel beginning on Wednesday. The official reminded Anadegas that it should remember that the state gives and the state can take away. Paredes made these statements in an interview with journalists Nuria Piera and Huchi Lora on CDN Radio yesterday. He said that the government would guarantee fuel supplies despite the Anadegas threat. The Anadegas position is that its stations are on the brink of disaster since hundreds of thousands of vehicles have switched to the cheaper LPG fuel rather than gasoline. Anadegas leader Juan Ignacio Espaillat told the media that his stations would halt fuel purchases beginning today.
He discarded that the Anadegas blockade could paralyze gasoline sales, explaining an estimated 100 petrol stations are not part of the organization.
