SANTIAGO (The Thursday Times) — Chile ke Sadr José Antonio Kast ne truck drivers ki hartal se mulk bhar ki shahrahein band hone ke baad indhan ki qeematon par paspai ikhtiyar kar li hai, lekin is paspai se ehtijaj nahin ruka, aur jaizon ke mutabiq un ki maqbooliyat aath maah ke daur-e-iqtidar ki kam tareen satah par hai.
Hukumat ne Jumeraat ko usi din indhan ki qeematon mein hone wala izafa wapas lene aur diesel ki qeemat mein 100 peso (taqreeban 10 Amriki cent) fi litre kami par ittefaq kiya. Yeh baat wazir-e-dakhla Claudio Alvarado ne truck drivers ki bari tanzeemon se do roza muzakraat ke baad batayi. Un ke mutabiq diesel, jo truck drivers sab se zyada istemal karte hain, 31 March 2027 se pehle dobara mehnga nahin hoga. Mangal ko shuru hone wali hartal khatam kar di gayi.
Is se aik din pehle hukumat ne indhan ki qeematein teen maah ke liye munjamid karne ka elan kiya tha aur tay shuda izafe wapas lene ke liye Congress mein aik bill bheja tha. Tawaqqo hai ke yeh bill isi maah manzoor ho jayega.
Alvarado ne kaha: “Chile ko taraqqi karte rehne aur aage barhte rehne ke liye maamool ki soorat-e-haal darkaar hai.” Truck drivers ki tanzeem Fuerza del Norte confederation ke sarbarah Cristián Sandoval ne kaha ke muzakraat tootne ke qareeb the. Unhon ne kaha: “Hum saaf inkar sun kar ghar jaane hi wale the.”
February mein Iran ke khilaf America aur Israel ki jang shuru hone aur Aabnae Hormuz se jahaz rani mutasir hone ke baad se indhan ki qeematein barh rahi hain. Is saal ke awail mein Kast hukumat ne woh sarkari nizam tabdeel kiya jo indhan ki qeematon mein achanak utaar charhao ka asar kam karta hai, jis se izafe ka zyada hissa barah-e-raast drivers par muntaqil ho gaya.
Ghussa truck drivers se aage phail chuka hai. Jumme ko wasti Santiago mein indhan ki qeematon ke khilaf talaba ke march mein taqreeban aik hazar afraad shareek hue. March pur-aman andaz mein shuru hua lekin jharpon par khatam hua, jab kuch muzahireen ne patakhe phainke aur police ne aansu gas aur water cannon ka istemal kiya. Muntazimeen ko march ki ijazat nahin mili thi.
Muzahireen ne hukumat ki budget tajweez ki taraf bhi ishara kiya, jis mein taleem, saqafat aur science ke budget mein katautiyan tajweez ki gayi hain, aur guzishta maah samne aane wale un ehkamaat ki taraf bhi, jin ke tehat 56 qaidiyon ki sazayein kam ki gayin, jin mein bachon se ziyadti aur aamriyat ke daur mein insani huqooq ke jaraim ke mujrim bhi shamil hain. Kast ne in ehkamaat ko “ghalti” qarar diya hai.
Guzishta hafte ke aakhir mein Criteria ke aik survey mein Kast ki maqbooliyat 24 feesad aur un se napasandeedgi 67 feesad rahi, jo un ki hukumat ke badtareen adad-o-shumar hain. Agle din Cadem ke survey mein un se napasandeedgi 68 feesad thi.
December 2025 mein jaraim aur ghair qanooni immigration se nimatne ke waadon par sadarat jeetne wale Kast khitte ke wahid rehnuma nahin jo mehngai ke baais dabao mein hain. Jaizon ke mutabiq Argentina ke Javier Milei aur Peru ki Keiko Fujimori ko bhi aksariyat napasand karti hai.
