Three distribution sites of Mexican bottler Coca-Cola Femsa
continued blockaded by former freight employees and concessionaries.
Rodrigo Anzola, the corporate manager of Legal and Institutional
Affairs, said that clashes continued in the western cities
of Acarigua, Mérida and La Fría, where they were
waiting for judicial and security authorities to take action.
Anzola noted that the company regained 90 percent of the
control over distribution of commodities.
He regretted that the bottler could not sell 1.76 million
of boxes, accounting for USD 8.9 million.
