Urging end to trucking monopoly

[NewsWhore]

The president of the Association of Industries, Manuel Diez Cabral is calling for an end to Fenatrado's monopoly on trucking of goods. Diez described the 35% rate increase announced by Fenatrado as "abusive". He said that the only way of finding out whether this increase is fair is to allow free competition in goods transportation. In the DR, the reality is that only Fenatrado-affiliated truckers are allowed to remove cargo from Customs. In the past, Fenatrado has used violence to impose its illegal monopoly, and the authorities have traditionally looked the other way. Diez demanded that the authorities should provide the conditions for free competition of cargo to prevent these disproportionate increases that he said would only translate into higher consumer prices.
