Spanish steelmakers association UNESID last week said that continued stoppages in transportation due to a truck drivers’ strike is creating a greater impact than expected particularly for the domestic steel industry. UNESID said that the Spanish economy, and in particular the steel industry, need a quick solution to this problem so that a situation that is already tremendously delicate does not get worse, as a consequence of the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine.UNESID added “The problems in road transport add one more difficulty to the price of electricity and represent a brake on the recovery of activity after the pandemic.”Spain's government agreed to pay 500 million euros in direct aid to the transport sector on Monday, hoping to end a strike by some truck drivers over surging fuel costs but organisers said the strike will continue.
