Nicolás Maduro has been forced to sell gas in Mexico to ease the crisis in the country, aggravated by Texas floods. “I was dealing with our German Pemex [Petróleos Mexicanos]”, Dijo este viernes durante un acto televised. “We will propose to sum up Venezuelan gas in Mexico. Create a strategic alliance. Complementing the scale, the gas of the community and of the industry and advancing with the international societies and giving to Mexico as a priority, because the market ”.
The offer to convert into a “safe provider” comes from the mandate of a country in which part of the population has to resort to renting water to a café or cooking a meal for the deficiencies in the summit. Gaining gas cylinders (bombs) for weeks, and months, is the routine for millions of Venezuelans who abasteca for this life. In the finals of December, the explosion of 161 bombs in a shopping center in Monagas killed 46 victims of the fires a decade has failed. The people file in the box to receive the summit’s account for 10 months of total non-payment.
With the exception of petrol production, due to years of poor manufacturing, the gas also had a problem. 10 years ago, Venezuela produced around three million barrels of petroleum bar on the day, this figure was reduced by one-sixth due to the lack of maintenance and the loss of qualified personnel. Production is underway in the wake of China’s deaths, Cuba’s summit compromises and exchanges it has sought to implement in Washington’s sanctions, over the years of crude diesel and gasoline.
Although there are four plants that can produce gas in Venezuela, only the Criogenic of Jose, in the State of Monagas in the east of the country, is operational but with very low capacity. The national demand for propane gas, which carries the cylinders connected to the cookers, is one of 55,000 barrels. Currently, only 8,000 barrels of gas liquefied petroleum gas have been produced, according to the latest data by Eudis Girot, trade unionist for the Petroleum Workers’ Federation, which has been alerting to the sector’s emergence and since November has been announced.
Mexico has foreseen this week the natural gas disaster that has hit gas pipelines from the state of Texas through various power plants in the country. The disposal of hydrocarbons from EE UU suele is practically intermediate. The Mexican government has sought out various alternatives for palliative care, among them the purchase of bucks with liquefied petroleum gas. Maduro’s proposal makes one more move than the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said the South American country does not have a natural gas production strategy and a liquefied petroleum gas plant is, to say the least, complicated.
In June 2020, López Obrador also received a waiver from the Venezuelan regime. Entonces el desabasto de gasolina en Venezuela, como consecuencia de las sanciones impuestas van Washington, llevó tot Maduro, a buscar that is flammable from the outside. The Mexican offer to sell gasoline, through Pemex, to attend “a humanitarian necessity”. Finally, Venezuela receives books from Iran. López Obrador’s proposal was also difficult to complete, given that 70% of the gasoline consumed in Mexico is imported, mainly from EE UU.
Maduro proposes a commercial opening for the impetus of the privatization of some strategic sectors managed by the State. As a result, over 15 years of scrutiny, the good view of the informal dollarization of the country and also has led to a policy of taxation of prices. The sanctioned anti-blocking law has its measures is the regulatory mark that it has exceeded to estimate the entry of new international societies into the country, increasing institutional control and guaranteeing a secret character in these transactions, which could be revoked by the Eco veto imposed sanctions on President Donald Trump and the removal of Joe Biden’s administration.
