The announcement of sanctions against state-run Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) for the United States was heard in Caracas as a rallying cry. "The Revolutionary Government calls on all Venezuelans, the working class, and especially the oil workers to be vigilant and mobilized in defense of our PDVSA and the sacred sovereignty of the country," he urged the Government of Hugo Chavez in a statement.
And today, all company sites have been surrounded by red-uniformed protesters, who gave "live" to the Government and "death" the rule. "Yankees, alert, because the sword of Bolivar walk, and stand ready to defend the commander's life president, "shouted a protester to the chambers of the state also Venezolana de Television.
Meanwhile, on the bottom of the screen appeared an invitation:" Dinostuconsigna against U.S. aggression in Venezuela # VenezuelaseRESPETA "(sic) . On Tuesday, the Department of State United States included seven new companies in the list of sanctioned companies doing business with Iran, which Washington probably suspected, they end up funding the nuclear program of the regime of the ayatollahs.
Among them is Petróleos Venezuela, which will henceforth not be able to sign contracts with the U.S. government, but may continue to sell oil and its products to private U.S. companies. In September 2009, Venezuela and Iran signed an agreement in which Caracas agreed to provide 20,000 barrels per day of gasoline to Iran.
However, in February this year, Venezuela Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez denied that PDVSA was selling gasoline to Iran, violating the embargo imposed by the Security Council of the UN to punish the government of Ahmadinejad on his Mamhud nuclear program. "We're not selling [fuel] to Iran.
(...) I understand that Iran has resolved his problem,''Ramirez said on 11 February. Despite being the fourth largest oil producer, Iran has been importing about 40% of its gasoline to its domestic market, due to a decline in refining capacity. "The rule he wants to Venezuelan oil," shouted yesterday another oil worker who claimed to be "bended knee" for Revolution and its fuel.
Whether he wants that Venezuela is the fifth largest supplier of U.S. crude. And PDVSA, sold each month over 61% of its production to U.S. companies, has accompanied the 'empire' in that desire. Of the 2.89 million barrels of oil, PDVSA said to have exported in 2010, 1.19 barrels were sold to the U.S.
market. Only 13% of production is sold in the Caribbean and South America, at preferential prices and with financing terms up to 25 years. President Chavez, who for a couple of weeks to rest a knee injury, supported the protests from the social network Twitter. "Bravo for PDVSA workers! From my trench, my thoughts go supportive and my word of encouragement to all! # VenezuelaseRESPETA" he wrote through his account @ chavezcandanga.
Tuesday also tweeted, "Sanctions against the homeland of Bolívar? Imposed by the imperialist government gringo? Well: BienvenidasMr Obama! NoOlvideQSomosLos HijosDeBolivar!" (Sic). Chavez's place in front of the microphones has taken Rafael Ramirez, who, besides energy minister, is president of PDVSA.
"Today Imperialism intends to dictate rules to us. Not like the rule that we have dealings with Iran, Libya (...), (...), with Cuba.'ll Have to stay with the win," Ramirez harangued today a group of workers Jose refinery complex, located in the east. He also reiterated that the Chavez government continues to assess the economic impact could these sanctions on PDVSA, to decide on commercial and legal actions taken in the future.
"El Comandante Chavez tells us the right answer to imperialism," he said. In the meantime, Minister Ramírez has a guaranteed supply of oil to its affiliates in the U.S., Citgo and Hovensa companies. But has not ruled to suspend shipments to other U.S. companies, "evaluated, should there be an affectation, the supplies we make to customers who are not our affiliates," he said Tuesday.
