PCV cree que reforma de ley de hidrocarburos "desmantela" 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 PCV criticizes the proposed oil law reform, labeling it a 'dismantlement' of oil sovereignty and a 'historical setback'.
- The party argues the reform violates Article 302 of the Constitution by allowing private companies to be direct operators in primary oil activities without state involvement.
- The reform allegedly permits companies to be compensated in hydrocarbons for direct commercialization, transferring oil revenue and economic sovereignty to private capital.
- The PCV claims the reform contradicts Article 151 of the Constitution by removing the requirement for Venezuelan courts to resolve contractual disputes, potentially leading to arbitration outside the national legal system.
- The reform allegedly reduces parliamentary control over mixed companies, requiring only notification instead of prior approval and diminishing legislative oversight.
- The reform allows private minority partners to effectively manage mixed companies, subordinating the strategic sector to business profitability rather than national interest.
- The Venezuelan Parliament, controlled by Chavismo, is scheduled to discuss the reform, proposed by acting president Delcy Rodríguez, to encourage private and foreign investment in the oil sector.
