Bus and taxi drivers block Palma highway in both directions-[VIDEO]

Bus and taxi drivers held on Tuesday a sit-in at the Palma highway where they blocked the traffic in both directions.

They were protesting against the deteriorating economic situation in the country, vowing escalation if their demands are not met.

This as one of the drivers attempted to douse himself with gasoline to set himself on fire because he can not afford to pay a fine given to him.

Security forces rushed to the man and prevented him for doing so.
