The president of the National Federation of Transportation the New Option (Fenatrano), Juan Hubieres, assured that there is also an octopus in the fuel sector, which is known to the state.
When participating in the El Despertador de Noticias SIN program, the courier denounced that this “octopus” buys the fuel as he “wants”, imports it, pays the freight, transports the trucks and is also the retailer, which Hubieres defined as “an almost absolute monopoly. “
Hubieres said there is a chain in the sales margins in the Dominican Republic that does not exist in any other country in Latin America.
He added that every citizen pays RD $ 4 for every gallon of fuel they consume and destined for the implementation of the law, calculating that nearly 2 billion gallons are consumed in the country.
Refers to a political issue
Hubieres said on Tuesday while on the television show that the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Ito Bisonó is not the one who has “the mafia” of fuels, but that, as he referred to the formula, it went viral and his former colleagues from the Party Christian Social Reformist (PRSC) want its position, despite the fact that the Perremeisten know that it is a state mafia involving the actual power of the state.
“They know that people who have closed factories receive 700,000 to a million liters, that people who build a school give a million liters of diesel and sell it on the black market and that people who are builders in Haiti and here it (referring to the grant ) and since they are not going to use it, they are selling it for RD $ 50 less because they made us an offer, ”he said.
