PCV advierte que reforma de la Ley de Hidrocarburos desmantela la soberanía petrolera
El Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) consideró este jueves que la propuesta de reforma de la ley de hidrocarburos, que se debatirá este jueves en el Parlamento para su aprobación, desmantela la soberanía petrolera y es un "retroceso histórico" sobre los recursos energéticos estratégicos del país.
TL;DR
- The Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV) considers the proposed hydrocarbons law reform a "historical setback" that dismantles oil sovereignty.
- The reform allegedly violates Article 302 of the Constitution by allowing private companies direct participation in primary oil activities without state involvement.
- The PCV warns that allowing companies to be remunerated in kind represents an "effective transfer of oil revenue" to private capital.
- The proposed changes contradict Article 151 of the Constitution by removing the requirement for Venezuelan courts to resolve contractual disputes.
- The reform purportedly weakens parliamentary oversight by replacing the need for prior approval for mixed companies with a simple notification requirement.
- The reform allows private minority partners to effectively manage mixed companies, prioritizing business profitability over national interest.
- The Venezuelan Parliament, controlled by Chavismo, is debating the reform to encourage private and foreign investment in the oil sector.
