Do you have the right to make a maneuver on the marked path in this situation?

Explanation

No, you have no right to that manoeuvre. The truck ahead has taken up position on the right with its right indicator on, meaning it has occupied the correct place for a right turn and announced its intention. The marked path takes you past it on the left and cuts in front of it inside the intersection — straight across its turning line. Two rules close this off: a right turn must be made from the extreme right of the carriageway, which the truck already occupies, and passing another vehicle within the intersection itself is what produces most side-impact collisions. A truck turning right must first swing slightly left so its rear clears the kerb, and at that moment a car on its left is in the complete blind spot. Empty space is not permission.
