Irani Gomes, president of the Union of Fuel and Oil Derivatives Transport Companies of the State of Minas Gerais (SindTaque), says that “We decided to maintain the stoppage until the government responds. As long as the government does not respond, the decision is to keep everything stopped. We have no forecast to resume.”

The truck drivers requested the government to reduce the ICMS rate on diesel from 15% to 12% in the state. The president of SindTanque also emphasizes that “The main states that are also strong in the fuel chain like Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and São Paulo have a rate of 12%, lower than what is charged in Minas Gerais. Today we suffer a lot from this. Today there are more than 1,500 trucks not loading and unloading fuel, and we will not have deliveries.”
