Passengers filmed the moment in which unknown individuals attacked a public transportation unit of the Ñandutí SRL company, on line 165, in the city of Itauguá, during the night.Users lament that due to an internal dispute over the route, their lives are in danger, since they even fired bullets and firearms at buses belonging to said firm.They believe that the attackers would be hired by the owners of internal buses that pass through areas of Itauguá.Users had to board two buses, one to take them to the route and the other to Asunción, while with the new section awarded to line 165 it is no longer necessary for them to use the internal buses.The attacks that put the integrity of passengers and drivers at risk seek to prevent them from carrying out the new itinerary that was granted to them.A complaint was made in the Prosecutor's Office, while the intervention of the Vice Ministry of Transportation is awaited, since until now there is no mediation in the conflict.Read more: Buses from the Ñandutí company are attacked for covering stretches in ItauguáThey clarify that everything began with a public tender from the Vice Ministry of Transportation to give authorization to the company to be able to enter the Mbocayatí Norte company bound for the center of Asunción.The attacks are becoming increasingly violent and have been going on since last June.“We received threats that they were going to break our windshield, they closed the road with a bus and the people present were armed with machetes and guns threatening us.They even fired shots and broke the windows of the bus,” said a user of line 165.The directors of the company commented that a public tender was opened to cover two routes and the Ñandutí company was awarded, but they consider that they cannot comply due to the attacks and threats.They accuse the owners of internal buses as intellectual authors.“They just attacked us at the entrance of a road.The driver is with windshield glass in his eyes.They threw us head-on, a lot of people came, with children who cried.Something has to be done, people,” said a passenger in one of the videos.Also read: Investigators continue to search for the weapon used to murder AcevedoCRIMINAL!😱 They attack groups with pellets and even firearm shots.Vandals put passengers in danger due to an internal itinerary dispute.#LMUPY📺 pic.twitter.com/eOiMBkWopd
