Former Venezuela's Oil and Energy Minister: Maduro is driving the country to ruin

Description

Caracas (Venezuela), Aug 28 (EFE).- Former Venezuela's Oil and Energy Minister Rafael Ramírez criticised President Nicolás Maduro and PDVSA management model after Harvest filled and later dropped a millionaire lawsuit against him whic was finally withdrawn for lack of evidence on Wednesday.SOUNDBITES OF FORMER VENEZUELA'S OIL AND ENERGY MINISTER RAFAEL RAMÍREZ DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH EFE:"PDVSA's problem is not technical but political. Maduro is the one who makes decisions. The president of the Republic puts the members of the board of directors and it's like that since it (PDVSA) was formed. With Maduro, there is no way, no way. He will order one intervention after another...nine committees were celebrated so far and all of them have failed. The situation is really bad. These people do not only lack the ability to manage the oil industry but any interest of it. Why? Because they are undermining PDVSA and privatizing it breaking the law and the constitution. They are handing a state industry over to the economical group that supports them in power, which is detrimental to the interests of the state. This government won't solve PDVSA's problems with this government, neither will privatization."

  • In Face Of Trump's Hostility, Iran And Venezuela Are Getting Quite Friendly With Each Other

    In the 4th century BC, the ancient Sanskrit treatise, the Arthashastra, said 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' According to Business Insider, Iran and Venezuela may be taking that to heart as their relationship grows ever closer. While the nations are US President Donald Trump's most frequent foreign-policy targets, Iran has been sending oil tankers directly to Venezuela. In September, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would place more sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Pompeo accused Maduro's government of working with Tehran 'to flout the UN arms embargo.' US officials say intervening to stop Iranian tankers from reaching Venezuela was an option, raising concerns Trump may seek a confrontation before the election.
