Couple of interesting stories coming out at the moment;
Aug 17th, 2014 - 07:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Venezuelan daily La Voz has reported that broadcasting tycoon Gustavo Cisneros has sold his television network Venevisión — the largest and most widely viewed network in the country — to the Venezuelan government. According to the report, the government takes control of the network beginning January 1, 2015. Venevisión network executives, however, have denied the news.
and concernUS jobs (at Citgo) could overide US policy with Vnzla:
Venezuela’s human rights violators can rest easy, once again. Last week the US Senate found itself in deadlock over the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act of 2014, which targets the Chavista regime’s top officials and military brass linked to the violent crackdown on opposition protests.
Even though the bill may be a means to punish Nicolás Maduro’s regime, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Mary Landrieu (D-LA) hasn’t seen it that way. In fact, Landrieu has placed a hold on the legislation, and prevented a vote in the Senate.
Why would a senator from Louisiana block a bill that would punish Venezuelan high-level officials accused of human rights violations? The answer to this question would be oil, reports US publication Politico.
Citgo refinery at Lake Charles, Louisiana employs more than 1,100 people. (Citgo)
According to a series of emails leaked by Politico, Citgo — the US subsidiary of Venezuela’s national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) — has shared grave concerns with Landrieu. Company executives argue that if the bill were approved, it would affect the company’s capacity to import crude oil to its refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and would force the company to dismiss hundreds of employees.
