Around 200 cab drivers are still concentrated near the cars occupying two lanes of the National 125/10 road, near the traffic circle accessing Faro’s international airport.
“For the time being there is no indication that they will disengage, and we’ll wait for orders from Lisbon, because we believe that tomorrow [Monday] the Prime Minister may receive the leaders of the various structures representing the cab sector”, said the regional leader.
According to Romão Alves, the drivers concentrated in Faro will not travel to Lisbon to take part in the walk from Praça dos Restauradores to Praça do Comércio, planned for Monday, and which will culminate with a vigil in front of the Prime Minister’s official residence.
