The Technical Office for Land Transport (OTTT) has warned public transportation drivers that if they refuse to run their regular routes, and instead join the protests against the Plan Renove ruling, they will lose their routes, which will be given to other interested drivers. OTTT Director Pena Guadalupe made the warnings after many drivers joined protest in support of former Conatra President Antonio Marte, after he was found guilty of irregularities in his dealings with the governmental Plan Renove. Guadalupe asserted that drivers who don't comply with the law will be replaced immediately, and that the buses are government property, bought with public funds, to serve the public.
In addition to Guadalupe's comments, Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez has made a statement about the recent work stoppage and protests by drivers.
The Cardinal considers the attitudes of drivers who are protesting against the Plan Renove judgment inadmissible. He went on to say that the Dominican public should not accept the public transport union leaders' behavior, and that drivers should instead be applauding the success of the judicial process in the case.
