A group of truck drivers in Spain on Friday rejected a government offer to double a support package to help with rising fuel prices, and vowed to continue a 12-day walkout that has led to shortages and pushed firms to scale back production.
The proposed measures, which include a rebate of 0.20 euros ($0.22) per litre of fuel and a 1,200 euro bonus, will cost the government about 1 billion euros, twice as much as a previous package unveiled earlier this week, Transport Minister Raquel Sanchez told reporters after talks that ran through Thursday night.
