Nice photo. Lovely.

Is this a paid-for advertisement?

This is an absolute joke.

ANCAP are the worst run business I have ever experienced in my life.

I cannot, at the age of 68, waste my time listing the examples that have come to light in the previous 3+ years and I am sure there are others.

This is what you get when political appointees are put in executive positions.

Pathetic.

SA version of Pavlovs Dog.

Visions of all these SA politicians, salivating in anticipation of their new Swiss Bank Accounts!

The oilmen WGAF who they have to pay, it's just another entry in the overheads ledger, the cost of doing business with them.

We mustn't count our chickens before they hatch. We've had a number of disappointments in the past.
However, the thought of synergic linking of future Falklands and Uruguayan production, bypassing Argentina entirely, is not unattractive.

If only ANCAP had better management: they couldn't even get the name of the company correct for the major H&P contract they forgot to sign until the loan was almost time expired.

I don't think they know what customer service is.

Yes, Ancap is deadweight round all our necks. We're reminded of the fact every time we buy petrol. Has been for many years; we'd be better off with nothing. Former President Lacalle tried at least to eliminate its monopolistic nature, but Sanguinetti let him down, to his eternal shame. Pretty boy Sendic with his three-year Cuban college degree, has managed to skim off USD 200 million. Imagine what a Frenteamplista with an actual brain might have “made disappear”. The new CEO of Ancap is the same bloke who extended credit for USD 30 million to Pluna when the limit was one tenth of that. He belongs in prison, not on the board (unless it were the parole board, who'd probably say no).
I fully expected the Frente Amplio to lack business and administrative acumen, but I never imagined there's be so many crooks in their midst.

I did wonder what happened to the Pluna crook, one of “No Money Pepe's” bestist mates of course.

As soon as I realised the Broad Fraud were commies I knew what we would be in for.

Still, Uruguay is a great country, it just has an infestation of vermin to deal with which might take a little time but they will be gone sooner or later.

At least the embarrasment of a president will be gone soon.

I have to say that your comments about Vasquez have been reinforced by others. Oh well!
