Is PDVSA still venezuelan ?

[pana_burda]

Hundreds of protesters blocked streets and burned tires in eastern Venezuela on Wednesday to demand clean water after a recent oil spill polluted rivers and streams that supply local storage tanks.

“We have not had water for a week,’’ said Maria Rodriguez, an angry 26-year-old housewife who joined the protest in the city of Maturin. “We don’t have water to cook and bathe, and we don’t have the money needed to buy bottled water everyday.’’

Crude oil began spilling from a ruptured pipeline on Feb. 4 near Maturin.

Monagas state Gov. Jose Gregorio Briceno declared a “state of emergency’’ following the spill, halting water distribution and closing schools in the state’s capital of Maturin, which is located approximately 255 miles (410 kilometers) northeast of Caracas

Representatives of Venezuela’s state oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A., or PDVSA, have not revealed how much oil leaked into the river.

City mayor Jose Vicente Maicavares said approximately 2,000 people, including PDVSA employees, trying to contain the spill that has fouled the Guarapiche River.

Maicavares called for calm, saying officials were doing everything possible to resolve the problem.

“We understand the irritation,’’ Maicavares told a news conference on Wednesday. “We can only be patient.’’

Sources say it lasted well over 20 days and 60.000 barrels of light oil crude (32 API) were spilled on to the Guarapiche river, which is the supplier of drinking water for the city and vecinities. There are claims that while the incident started, all necessary personnel for quick reaction, were taken to Caracas for political acts with the its master.

"Apparently PDVSA [Petroleos de Venezuela] is ​​the owner of everything, but not really own anything," said Evan Ellis, professor of the Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies, in relation to projects in which Chinese companies are linked.

How can a whole country be safe when its oil workers, public functionaries and even soldiers are forced to make pretend a mediatic popularity of some one pretending to be their "president" ??

A big chunk of Caracas downtown is nothing but a huge parking lot for a mediatic .... and political fraud.

Tell us where the honest politics are please? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

The worst thing in this situation is the average Venezuelan would almost certainly vote to oust the idiot who has created so much damage to their economy. They can't because there is a fear (whether it is based in fact or not) that if they vote for the other candidate and Chavez wins anyways he will know who you are and make a point of screwing you over.
Not only that but Chavez controls the military and I suspect that if he were to lose by votes he would win by Coup.

God seems to be planning on sorting this guy out, unfortunately he hasn't been very quick about it.

Oh no, believe me, they WILL vote him out.

Another of the problems of the absense of PROPPER institunality is that the boss gets his way with no dissenting voices at all. Nor inbound, and neither from the outside world.

Just as there was an abstentionist vote, something like a decade ago, very close to 90% of voters, for tomorrow almost 85% of TOTAL voters are expected to go to the polls. From that figure, I`m convinced, way over three quarters of the votes will head in the opposite way to his re-election. ¿Re-elected? Yes !. But, just by the subtle .... invisible magic of electronic voting systems.

Fear? well, .... my very personal experience tells me NO. The mother of my XX y/o kid do work for the government and she is about to retire. I keep telling her .... reminding her of the experience past PDVSA employees had with their careers with this false .... "prophet" .

International complicity? yes! .... God ?? LOL !!

By the way, thanks to the Administrator for, finally, allowing me back the privilege of venting my truths up to you. Blessings .... and lights to all !.

Didn't somebody try an anti-Chavez coup 10 years ago, with help from the usual suspects?

I just can't imagine why he would be so "paranoid", firing anyone he thinks would back another coup attempt and trying to keep out international capital from the very people who would benefit enormously from privatising everything in Venezuela.

Well it was an interesting ending. There was a release just after exit polls that suggested Chavez had lost by a narrow margin. According to the press there were tanks and military put into the streets. Then the electoral college (or whatever they call it there) declared Chavez the winner by a wide margin. Interestingly enough the opponent isn't claiming there was anything nefarious (I suspect he has worries about winding up face down in a swamp).

Indeed, strange moves troughout the jorney. Not surprising to me, though.

In this video appears the chief of this circus accusing the puppet of being paid by the narc-mobs and corrupt bankers. That brings, at least to me, more than enough lights over whom is really financially behind both the campaigns. And, in turn, explains why the almost compulsory promptness of accepting defeat.

By the way, another hot event is taking place and I`m afraid your gas bill will continue to rise up !.

Talent and responsability never take a break in this part of the sub continent ....

Ohhhh gosh .... think I might better tell you those days with no fires here. It gets boring after a long while.

[pana_burda]

ooooooops .... no fires today. Just a happy workers strike.

300 hundred workers from Kuala Lumpur-based Scomi Oil Tools, Maracaibo-based Petrosema, Houston base Halliburton and Venezuela's Tuboscope Brantd Co., have told workers they will pay them when Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA paid themselves, La Verdad said.

By the way .... interesting fact that I went to Bloomberg`s news site to verify and not a single word on this.
