The Basque Government asks to avoid travel on 12 August to see the eclipse
On the other hand, Hiru, the Autonomous Transport Union, has opposed the ban on movement.
A direct look at the sun can cause serious injuries to the retina.
TheBasque Government has called for the 12August solar eclipse to be seen\u00A0 to be avoided, since the aim is to reduce mobility, since traffic on the road network is expected to increase significantly .
In addition, the Basque Government insists thattheeclipse should be seen with approved glasses . The Basque Government warns that looking directly at the sun can cause serious and irreversible injuries to the retina even when the moon covers it.
For this reason, the Basque Government has sent to all the municipalities of the Basque Country a document detailing the preventive recommendations and safety guidelines for the observation of the eclipse, and plans to launch an information campaign for the entire population at the end of July.
The carriers, angry
Hiru, the union of self-employed hauliers, has attacked the decision to ban movement , which has been regulated by the Basque and Navarre administrations in the face of the eclipse. The union believes that the measure demonstrates the "mistreatment" of the sector.
The organisation regrets the lack of prior consultation and stresses that carriers will be the main victims ofthe decision, which is why carriers are calling for the decision to be overturned.
In addition, Hiru has warned that the ban will mean the loss of a full working day for many professionals and, above all, for those on the way, as it takes place in the middle of the working week, and has described it as' nonsense ' to restrict traffic throughout the day and during the first eight hours of the 13th.
Product supply chains at risk
The AECOC Association of Manufacturers and Distributors (AECOC) has also called on the Basque Government to lift the ban because it "completely breaks the supply chains" and has ensured that the measure prevents the supply of products from being guaranteed at one of the peak tourist demand moments of the year.
The organization therefore considers the rule "disproportionate" and calls for measures to make mobility compatible with the supply of commodities.
He has also assured us that the 24-hour suspension of transport will directly affect the Irun border crossing, through which some 10,000 lorries pass daily.
